Waking the Dead

Waking the Dead explores the path of a waking man through the land of sleep. Written in the tradition of the mystic poets such as Rumi, Hafiz, Gibran and Rimbaud, Kristin Reynolds writes as both student and teacher; seeker and seer; visionary and blind man; mystic and barely alive. This is poetry filled with keys for those seeking a secret doorway to the other side of sleep; as well as patient and heady reminders for those who’ve already walked through that door, who wish merely encouragement, understanding, and the joy that comes from a smile and wave of recognition from the other-side. Waking the Dead is meant to do just that: turn invisible dials within the body, mind and heart of the reader—plucking internal strings only poetry can reach for those who have seen beyond death, and have every intention of living.
