Poetry for People - 50 Years of Writing by Dixie Lubin encompasses a lifetime of tumultuous experience, viewed through Dixie's unique artistic lens and expressed through her deeply original and wildly embodied poems. This volume of poetry includes over 150 poems spanning five decades and reflecting what many of us experience in the kaleidoscope of our own lives. Collected into themes of remembrance, family, reflections, natural wonder, sensual pleasures, and devotions, these poems express the gamut of the human condition, invoking earthy lust, mystic meditation, bawdy humor, vivid grief, and an irrepressible sense of joy and hope. "These shimmering, surprising, and stunning poems [show] us how to live and love with greater abandon and imagination. Swirling together the likes of Kuan Yin, mid-life crises, Thomas Merton, being a young girl in Kansas springtime, Ancient Corn Mother, cellos, and chickens, Dixie shows us the truth of the title of one of her many ecstatic poems: 'When you reach the bottom, go deeper!' " (Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, Kansas Poet Laureate Emeritus)
