    About this ebook

    Xuleca Lounge is a collection of poetry by Kevin Clifford Burke. As you read Xuleca Lounge, you step into the heart of a world like being inside a diamond with its many different facets of light. Xuleca Lounge invites you to travel like Alice into Xuleca’s special wonderland through a portal which can take you on a journey into the realm of the creative process. A place to go when one needs to rest, grieve or regain a sense of wonder in the face the world. Xuleca Lounge reveals itself in the psychological world of mythology as well as within the experience of dreams and the unconscious. It examines the complexity of experience from great beauty to traumatic loss and grief that often seek to define and strangely help resurrect our lives. Xuleca Lounge reflects a personal journey about the meaning of love, self-actualization and spirituality and how myth impacts our lives through the great psychological meaning they impart to our landscapes.
