From the moment we are born, we learn an inexorable truth: one day we are going to die, and as we grow older, we get to experience the contraries that often afflict our existence. We have a tendency to fight what we consider negative, and many of us become blind to the fact that without darkness, there is no light. To many of us it takes some time to realize that we have a choice between resisting and losing the battle to what is an unavoidable part of our existence and accepting the darkest moments in life and gaining perspective and wisdom that will lead to enlightenment.

Produktbeschreibung
From the moment we are born, we learn an inexorable truth: one day we are going to die, and as we grow older, we get to experience the contraries that often afflict our existence. We have a tendency to fight what we consider negative, and many of us become blind to the fact that without darkness, there is no light. To many of us it takes some time to realize that we have a choice between resisting and losing the battle to what is an unavoidable part of our existence and accepting the darkest moments in life and gaining perspective and wisdom that will lead to enlightenment. Inspired by works of visual art, The Valley of Your Life explores ways in which darkness co-exists with light and enriches the human experience. It embarks us on a journey from the desert to the valley of our lives through the vessel of the poetic word.
Autorenporträt
Spanish by birth, Mari-Carmen Marin moved to Houston, Texas, in 2003, where she found her second home and teaches English at Lone Star College-Tomball. She turned to poetry at a time when her fears, anxiety, and depressive episodes enveloped her in a veil of dense fog. At first a flicker that helped her take small steps without falling, poetry has become a roaring flame that illuminates her path and warms her through the darkness. Her debut book of poetry, Swimming, Not Drowning, was published in 2021 by Legacy Book Press and was the 2022 American Writing Awards Winner for Poetry and Finalist in the Category of Autobiography and Memoir. She also received the Lone Star College Writing Excellence Award in the same year. Since an early age, Marin's dream has been to make a difference in this world, to touch other people's hearts in the way that so many artists have touched hers. She is currently living her dream and will continue living it as long as her duende keeps her company and she has an audience to listen.-www.maricarmenmarinauthor.com
