[Download] Love Letters to the World by Meia Geddes ~ Book PDF Kindle ePub Free

Love Letters to the World, a collection of 120 lyrical missives, addresses the world as body, concept, and stranger. "This is an exercise in love, an attempt at developing taste, a test of how sweet a word can be, an ode to moments. This is a manifestation of slowness and quiet and sunshine, early mornings and late evenings, glad memories and slender times. This is yearning and giving, an extended meditation on letters, what they can and cannot do for one's being." Love Letters to the World is a quiet celebration and exploration of life, love, language, and one's place in the world. This collection may appeal to those who love the uplifting, wondrous poetry of Mary Oliver, Khalil Gibran, and Alice Walker."Meia Geddes presents a love letter to the world and its beautiful, brave words without inhibitions, speaking to us with complete vulnerability. It's an intimate metamorphosis when the reader becomes the world and Geddes speaks to our souls." -Timothy Gager, author of The Shutting Door (Ibbetson Street Press)"In this work, those essentially human qualities, thinking and feeling, are cast in such elusively supple and subtle language, at once clear and unpretentious, and yet nuanced and rich in refraction, that what appears translucently simple and immediately appropriable suddenly diffuses into shades of signification for which one is never quite prepared...It is refreshing to encounter a work of genuine intimacy--to say nothing of its humanity--that is challenging in its emotional honesty but which steers well clear of self-indulgent sentimentality, just as it is to encounter one that is intelligent, even wise, but remains unfettered by a labored intellectuality." -George Genovese, author of Love Letters to the World (Ginninderra Press)
