In Gestations, Constantina moves through the soul's deepest longings: erotic and sacred, grieving and defiant, tender and fierce. Rooted in Celtic mysticism, contemplative wisdom, and the raw honesty of a life fully inhabited, she explores what it means to gestate new life from the ruins of what has been lost.
In Ancient Finger and Doing What Must Be Done, dedicated to breast cancer warriors everywhere, she transforms the terror of diagnosis and the stripping away of self into something fierce and luminous: a phoenix rising not despite the fire, but because of it.
Perfect for readers of Rumi, John O'Donohue, and Rainer Maria Rilke, poets she loved and conversed with directly in these very pages.
To read these poems is to trust that even in the darkest soil, something is always preparing to rise.
