Publisher's Synopsis
Spirit Balm is a vulnerable yet charged collection of art and poetry inspired by the universal and timeless journey of personal growth and spiritual awakening. Toler's insatiable curiosity and desire to discern Truth has allowed her to alchemize life's inherent challenges into an exploration on the multitudes of love, nature, reality, divinity, mindfulness, and authenticity. Though she contemplates substantial topics, her poems remain grounded, relatable and approachable while honoring life's precious beauty. An earnest tenderness pervades this work with each poem glimmering like a gem of ancient wisdom re-incarnate.
This volume is immersive and direct, bringing you into Toler's world, but goes far beyond the "I" to achieve a unique contemporary resonance. Toler's poetry is accompanied by her own artwork of similar themes for a multidimensional, hybrid experience.
