The Text

Cycles of verse and prose that take up where the epic poem La Chanson de Pamé La Calmette left off – spiraling into the 21st century to 2009.

The poet again journeys through her haunts in France, Ireland and the U.S. as the world is brought to its knees by war, the long over-due acknowledgement of global warming, and a myriad of natural catastrophes.

Gospel of the Cells is the poet’s account of finding a deeper, albeit cellular, meaning to these events—providing hope for a new consciousness projecting forth to a new world.
