ELEMENTAL, the Power of Illuminated Love is an exuberate book that is almost “over the top” in the way it combines explosions of creativity with quiet expressions of spirituality. The pages showcase full-color reproductions of paintings by a modern master paired with the writings of a celebrated author and make up the kind of book that has been long treasured among those with a strong appreciation for captivating art and inspiring literature.

Reviews on Amazon, Blogger, and in Connect Savannah have all pointed out how the poetry and paintings balance each other. This book is about the power of the creative imagination to lead human beings to victory over such inevitable challenges as grief and death. And it does that by illustrating in word and image what so many of our best spiritual philosophers continue to assert over and over again—that there is more to being human than we generally acknowledge and that this something “more” is capable of creating great beauty and wonder in our lives.
