Crimes Of The Dreamer: Poems
(Paperback)

by Naomi Ruth Lowinsky

Product Description
A sequence of dream poems delving into the psychoanalytical process.

In Naomi Ruth Lowinsky's work as a Jungian analyst she was flooded by poems dealing with the analytic process that now comprise the core of CRIMES OF THE DREAMER. "The dance of her poems is a recovery of the deep anima-energy. Lowinsky's mythic orientation allows her to move easily among various realms: personal, religious, historical. 'My story is different/than the one men tell' she insists in an earlier book. Here the crime is the crime of birth and history, which the poet not only redeems but re-dreams. Again and Again the book transport us to what Lowinsky calls that primal place in which the god-image leaps out of the animal realm."-- Jack Foley, Poet, KPFA Literary Host
