Before the Sun Rises is poetry of awakening and listening to the natural world at this turbulent time on our planet. Gwendolyn Morgan evokes a dreamtime threshold of climate change, global initiations, corvid and celestial convergences. She interweaves her observations of swans, deer and rabbits with morning tea and auto-immune disorders, tracking our personal and political realities in the context of the natural world with spiritual practices. She names seasonal migrations, loon feathers, breath. This collection of poems invites us to honor the messages of the earth as our ancestors call us to offer our gifts for the healing of ourselves and the world.
Flight Feathers is a collection steeped in remembrance. Avian flight feathers are anchored to bone with ligaments to offer courageous lift of wings. In a traumatic time of poly crisis and upheaval, Gwendolyn Morgan's poetry illuminates natural landscapes, brings us to renewed hope. In a season of transition, we are offered a place to honor our collective grief and gratitude.
From life and literature come the heroines of this volume. The essays demonstrate that women can fit the role of hero as defined by Joseph Campbell: "A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder, fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won, the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man." Contributors to this volume cover a wide range of heroic women.
