Product Description
by Trenda Geller (Author)
Here is a book that penetrates relationships with a sharp cunning eye and style, written by a practicing psychotherapist. It is also a poetic memoir of a remarkable person and a saga of personal survival.
This is an easily accessible book of poetry, a mixture of beautiful surreal lines and lines that have a real story to tell....Geller gives us touches of Mary Oliver's sharpness and clarity. This book offers special interest for those readers who are interested in treatment of mental illness and mental health matters in general, from the perspective of a mental health professional.↵
I found Shepherds Among Us a fast read with most of the poems a page long in Geller's addictive style. I recommend this collection to poetry readers who like a unique, fresh perspective and a good, accessible style. I really enjoyed being with the Shepherds Among Us.↵
--Dona McCormack, NetGalley Top Reviewer.
Trenda Geller has created a powerful and beautiful collection of poems which are both mystical and tender. Her words expose a sense of personal loneliness and empathy. We go deep into her mind as a care giver as she shares how the pain-filled and painful voices of her patients touch her soul. In many poems, Nature itself becomes a metaphor of her survival. This is a life-defining soul-searching collection of feelings which needs to be read slowly because, in many ways, these are our life poems also. ↵
