Combining selected sections of one piece of her encaustic art called The Dance of Life, and her poetry on the journey of dying, andrea bird has gifted the world with her unique insight and experience of this time in her life.
This is in no way a sad collection, in fact, it is full to the brim with life, fully observed. andrea has found a sweet and juicy way of sharing this rocky path with us. The good, the bad, the constant unknowns.
In her own words …
Bringing some of these poems together in this book is another light in the dark, inviting you into what it has been like to live with dying. I have paired the poems with some details from a piece I was commissioned to make called The Dance of Life. I am inviting you into this dance between the words and the art.
This is a stunning collection of art and poetry!

From the back cover ... in andrea's works ...
Imagine yourself in a new landscape and it’s so dark that any movement seems impossible. Even knowing what direction to step is difficult. Then a light - in this case, a poem - appears and you suddenly have a sense of where to go. This illumination guided me forward. Then another appears, and another. This was my experience of having other people’s poems help me. The words they spoke settled in me, anchored me to here and now - inviting me to be present for this life. I felt like I finally understood the power of poems - oh this is what a poem can do! A beautiful surprise.
