Chelan has indeed received a Divine gift. I don't think ordinary human intelligence could express such depth in words..\" \u003cb\u003e--Rick Archer, host of podcast Buddha at the Gas Pump: Conversations with \"Ordinary\" Spiritually Awakening People\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eWild Grace\u003c\/i\u003e, Chelan Harkin uses ecstatic poetry to redefine our relationship with the divine. She targets a tipping point happening in the souls of many that shifts a conceptual relationship with God into a genuine, direct, and satisfying experience. These are visions of the present, speaking into the future. They are openings of the heart and awe-filled possibilities for a life of honesty and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eChelan Harkin\u003c\/b\u003e had a profound mystical experience at 21; in a time of mental\/emotional anguish, she was shown how she needed to live in a more transparent and authentic way, and that she would access her gifts to the degree that she opened herself to joy, trauma, power, and tenderness. While Chelan recognized poetry as a love and a gift, its flow at that time was blocked by self-judgment and perfectionism. So she decided to allow herself to write \"a bad poem\" every day for a month. This unlocked a different creative process and a poetic force that has not stopped flowing. Her publishing journey is only two years old but her first two books, \u003ci\u003eSusceptible to Light\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLet Us Dance!\u003c\/i\u003e, have been self-publishing successes with sales numbers to be envied by most poets today. Her third book, \u003ci\u003eWild Grace\u003c\/i\u003e, publishes in November 2023 with Monkfish. Chelan lives with her children in the Pacific Northwest.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Monkfish Book Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50717483204882,"sku":"9781958972120","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_81ea8fb7-5934-411f-bbbc-2ebf5d09a597.jpg?v=1734618681","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/wild-grace-poems-9781958972120","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
