Moving to the Edge of the World: A Poetry Trilogy

Volcano You blow yourself up to nurture your children, to draw attention to a larger reality than human history, to teach us that destruction is part of creation, to remind us that the Earth is alive and every day of bearable light is a gift.

The Book of Bliss

The Night Gardener This is my bliss time. I water under the moon while the world sleeps. Awake with owls and bats, moths and cats and the worker bee who never sleeps — I give grasses their drink, kiss the night-blooming flowers whose moon-drenched yellow scent surrounds the garden, whose round blossoms glow in the dark, dancing like drunkard angels.

At the Foot of the Mountain: Nature and the Art of Soul Healing

This remarkable work proves that a time of devastating change can result in magnificent growth and illumination. In these intensely personal and universal ponderings, Episcopal priest, author-poet, and therapist Alla Renée Bozarth relates the wrenching decisions that caused her to move from her "exile" in the Midwest back to Oregon, to her place "at the foot of the mountain." She takes us through her grief at the death of her father and of her young husband, then shares her gradual healing through the creative process of writing this book. As she finds strengths to minister to herself, she ministers to us. In introducing us to her special places and symbols, her teachers, we are moved to discover our own healing metaphors for ourselves.

The Word's Body: An Incarnational Aesthetic of Interpretation

The Word's Body integrates depth psychology and linguistic philosophy to illuminate a metaphor of the creative process, specifically the performance of literature in public or private as "the word becoming flesh." This book expands the Johannine metaphor to describe the artist/performer/preacher's work of embodying the Word: Creation, Incarnation, and Transformation/Communion: The Words becomes flesh and dwells among us. It is an answer to Susan Sontag's call for an erotics of interpretation.
