“For the truth and the path to it.”

Personal experiences tend to skew a person’s view of the world. The Perspective of the Constellation opens a doorway to a broader viewpoint that, once meditated upon, could perhaps bring more meaning to everyday life, restoring a sense of self and guiding individuals toward healing.

1709
What,
What is the dark
Soft fold of sadness?
Not knowing what’s
Finished and
What’s begun —

Sun sets and rises
As constellations
Pasted into the deep
Mystery are
Lit by the source,
Power,
Unfolding light
Stretched
Between 2 palms,
Pulled
Towards the potential,
The core of it
All.


Ms. Slater’s previous works have consistently and engagingly explored a theme of Mother Earth and the four elements. This volume continues that narrative thread as it delves into the vastness of space and time, reminding us that, ultimately, we are made from star stuff…

The Perspective of the Constellation is a well-done collection I highly recommend!

Thank you, Ron! Poetry, at least for me, must be read slowly and meditated upon. I don't read it often, but it is lovely when I do. : )

Lorna Lovely review, Kimber. The thread throughout the narratives with exploration of the earth and its elements sounds engaging with a metaphysical bent. 🤔
