Seraph: Living Inside My Father's Pain

By Iris Liebner

For poet Iris Liebner, writing is a source of healing in her life. Her words arise as an intuitive knowledge, a flowering from within, and a path of revelation. Seraph is the culmination of that revelation, focusing on mistakes and reparation, living and dying. She utilizes strong voice and movement to invoke passion and inspire the art of expression.

For Iris, healing is utmost, in both her professional and personal lives. She hopes her collection enables you to be more joyous in this oft-conflicted life. She hopes you will be less fraught with judgements, assumptions, and fragmentation. These poems stir the imagination and find a home in the heart as an ode to love, loss, and the spirit of renewed hope. With every inhale, fill with inspiration. With every exhale, surrender to the eternal all-knowing.
