Publisher's Synopsis
This collection is a tapestry woven with a hint of metaphor and a glimpse of more than meets the eye, poetry tempered by the consciousness of the muse translating from the heart - Tapati's muse translates with her through her first language with subtlety in observation, reflection and storytelling.
This discerning selection of poems is written with a keen range of receptive candor while still reaching deep (Reflection), a passionate sensitivity for love (Light of a Thousand Suns), mystery (Burial of Love), personification and story-telling (The River and the Mountain), a love of nature (April), and tenderness in grief (Trail Walk).
Passionate, colorful and compelling, this is an intuitive and fine work, a complexity cloaked with a sensitive harmony that is worthy of a second read, written in the voice of a natural poet - there is indeed more than meets the eye.
-Robin Odam
