Poetry. RED CLAY IS TALKING is the first published collection of poetry by prominent Jungian analyst Naomi Ruth Lowinsky. In this new collection, Lowinsky transcribes her experience as a woman, and a young mother, a traveler in India into her poetry. "The voice here is rich and musical. It balances the breadth of a woman's life on the turtle back, the bull's hips of myth"--Richard Silberg. "This is a poetry of quest, and the poet takes us through myriad ages and cultures. We partake with her in ecstasy and darkness, passion, epiphany and hunger, and our world is larger for it"--Diane di Prima.
