Poems unfold, and in unfolding, nourish and awaken one to the joyfulness of the present moment and the sense of being part of
what Walt Whitman calls a “vast similitude” which “interlocks all”.
It is this awakening, experienced through both yoga and poetry,
which inspired Betsy Small to create
Poems of Awakening
.

You don't have to be a poetry lover, a yogi, or a meditation practitioner to appreciate these timeless and deeply felt poems, which invite readers of
all generations and cultures to contemplate their own  spiritual journey, or simply to savor the beauty of the moment.
