The Book of Bliss (Hardcover)

The Book of Bliss — Poems by Alla Renée Bozarth

These 220 poems are mystic chalices, each filled to the brim with practical elixirs for improving one’s daily engaging of “ordinary” life. Drink deeply with this poet’s deft assistance from the four sections of The Book of Bliss: “The Practice of Imperfection,” “The Book of Love and Letting Go,” “The Book of Blessings” and “The Book of Bliss.” Whether you begin your inner adventure by consulting the stars or the flowers, you will spend many delightful hours returning to these luscious words of grace and wisdom. Here prayer fuses with biography, botany, astronomy, physics and song, touching time and again upon our cosmic and common encounters with imperfection, blessing, loving and releasing, and daily bliss. For those who are guided by the Word, it is here in abundance, and for every flower you pick in this garden, two will blossom in your heart.

Reader's Review

The Book of Bliss

These 220 poems are mystic chalices, each filled to the brim with practical elixirs for improving one’s daily engaging of “ordinary” life. Drink deeply with this poet’s deft assistance. Whether you begin your “inner adventure” by consulting the stars or the flowers, you will spend many delightful hours returning  to these luscious words of wisdom from the founder of Wisdom House. (I have.)

Alla’s own life story (her early widowhood, priestly duties, piano playing) weaves in and out of these prayerlike poems, touching time and again upon our universal and cosmic encounters with imperfection, blessing, loving and letting go, and daily bliss. For those who are guided by the Word, it is here in abundance and for every flower you pick in this garden, two will blossom in your heart.
