in Clarity's absence

By Pixie Willo

In Clarity's absence is a bi-polar magical mystery tour through multiple worlds - heavens, hells, deaths, rebirths, and angelic realms - exploring transformation throughout. We are all multidimensional beings. Willo gets it and writes masterfully. A mind of untapped timeless wealth... Lost in rhythmic mists Where rivers flow With words--her gift These are the fine fruits of a rhythmical lyricist The genius in Pixie's work is her capacity to stay vulnerable and open to the unknown. She's the literary offspring of Sappho and Walt Whitman, with just a whiff of the Marquis de Sade... - Jane Lipman, author of On the Back Porch of the Moon. winner of the 2013 New Mexico- Arizona Book award in poetry and The New Mexico Press Women's award in the same year.
