She targets a tipping point happening in the souls of many that shifts a conceptual relationship with God into a genuine, direct, and satisfying experience. These are visions of the present, speaking into the future. They are openings of the heart and awe-filled possibilities for a life of honesty and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChelan Harkin\u003c\/b\u003e had a profound mystical experience at 21; in a time of mental\/emotional anguish, she was shown how she needed to live in a more transparent and authentic way, and that she would access her gifts to the degree that she opened herself to joy, trauma, power, and tenderness. While Chelan recognized poetry as a love and a gift, its flow at that time was blocked by self-judgment and perfectionism. So she decided to allow herself to write \"a bad poem\" every day for a month. This unlocked a different creative process and a poetic force that has not stopped flowing. Her publishing journey is only two years old but her first two books, \u003ci\u003eSusceptible to Light\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLet Us Dance!\u003c\/i\u003e, have been self-publishing successes with sales numbers to be envied by most poets today. Her third book, \u003ci\u003eWild Grace\u003c\/i\u003e, publishes in November 2023 with Monkfish. Chelan lives with her children in the Pacific Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 94\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 14, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51758704656672,"sku":"9781958972120","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f71dfda6a1eb0f6c9a55bd68d8e8bb83.webp?v=1780133254","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/wild-grace-poems-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
