Cornsilk - Poems and Photographs (Paperback)

CORNSILK: POEMS AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY CAROL ALENA ARONOFF, PH.D. "If we slow down our pace, we can hear the voices of the Old Ones in the poems of Carol Aronoff. Their awareness is transmitted in images of great power and simplicity, calling to us from the lush farms of Hawaii or the desert cornfields of the Southwest. These poems give tangibility to the essence of these voices, in the words of today." -Betsie Miller-Kusz, artist/muralist, director of SomArts Gallery, San Francisco/Jemez Valley, New Mexico "I am sure that long after we're gone, Carol Aronoff's poetry will live on alongside the work of other great poets. These masterful poems and photographs are all about true connection and the spiritual gifts Native cultures offer-living in harmony with earth, sky, water ... and each other. As we read, her spellbinding imagery softly pulls us into magical worlds-our hearts open and for a few moments, we can live in simplicity and wonder with these mystical people-their land, ceremony, wise ones. Carol Aronoff will help us to remember ancient culture and peoples ... far into the future." -Nancy Clemens, author, Dolphin Divination Cards, artist and environmentalist "Reading Aronoff's poetry is chasing scent of pinon, inhaling indigo moons, wrapping consciousness in corn silk. We are touched beyond measure as she weaves words into meditations on life, balance, wisdom and the world of spirit. Eagerly we follow her along ancient paths back to soul source and the sacredness of Mother." -Madelyn Garner, Poet and D.H. Lawrence Fellow, University of New Mexico's Taos Summer Writers' Conference
