      Spirit Within, Spirits Throughout - Antoinette "Tiyi" Schippers

      Spirit Within, Spirits Throughout

      "If courage is a tangible, durable, and renewable resource, it comes directly from the sources of spirit that Tiyi Schippers identifies in these poems—the living world dancing around us, the ancestors and all whom we love, our own deep wellspring of soul and awareness. She has thought deeply about how hearts born of thunder/grow stronger and harder/even torn asunder and urges us to celebrate fleeting but abundant manifestations of spirit—a bird flashing by the window/the flick of a squirrel’s tail/brief, bright sun amid thick clouds/the sound of the back door/ . . . /in the seconds before/love enters the room. Grief for her is a living thing but she has learned from it/we rise/in poetry/in song/in art. This is a book you will want to keep by your side, one that invites the reader to welcome the sacred . . . into spark."
