Product Description
by Evan Pritchard (Author)
A Silver Feather is a luminous collection of poetry drawn from six decades of Evan Pritchard's writing-poems crafted to lift the spirit, stir the heart, and remind us of the wonder threaded through everyday life.
A companion to his deeply meditative From The Temple Within: The Fourth Book of Light, this anthology offers more than one hundred pieces of "ascendant poetry," a term Pritchard coined after a vivid dream. These poems are rooted in the natural world, guided by worldwide indigenous wisdom, and shaped by a lifetime of inner listening.
Whether read slowly in moments of reflection or returned to during times of uncertainty, these poems serve as gentle teachers. They offer clarity, renewal, and a quiet sense of hope-an invitation to rise above the noise and reconnect with the deeper, steadier rhythm of the heart.
Pritchard, former poetry editor for Resonance Magazine, is the author of Greetings from Mawenawasic (Foothills) and Red Head Band (Resonance), and is also featured in Tending the Fire (University of New Mexico Press), an anthology of leading Native American poets. While he has published widely, he has often devoted himself to what he calls "ascendant poetry"-transformational, heart-centered work inspired by dreams, nature, and inner experience. A Silver Feather brings together over one hundred of these cherished poems, selected from a lifetime of listening to the world's quieter truths.
