Jane’s verbally and visually stirring outing draws from art and spirituality, offering a rewarding mix of poems, prose, images, and reflections that span ancient wisdom, personal growth, as well as her own tastes. Pairing Shaivite yoga practice with French formal poetry, poems in the collection operate with an ethereal energy: “Journeying through the bardo,/ she met the ascended master of marathons./ They locked spirits, exchanged windless gossip,/ engaged in a friendly afterlife haggle.” Jane’s interest in spirituality permeates the pages: “conceal and reveal more teleutons” is a surrealistic exploration of the divine female energy; in “ask the right questions teleutons,” she underscores the potent philosophy and spiritual vision that form the basis of yoga; in “body of light teleutons,” she delves into the concept of the transformation of the material body into a body of light. The book also investigates the subjects of spiritual realism, the boundary between physical science and deep spirituality, female sexuality, death, resurrection, yoga as a tool for self-transformation, how ancient knowledge can be applied to daily struggles and triumphs among others. Pondering the mysteries of ancient practices and artistic stimulus, this illuminating work turns the quest for personal and spiritual transformation into a choral act.
