Accolades
“She performs a rare literary alchemy, fusing science and sensuality, genetics and generosity, global biology and personal biography…”
“Rich in colors, shapes and texture, the vivid images of the painter-poetess’s vagabond-like fancy range from cyclical rhythms of nature to the timeless spiritual potentialities of the human mind…”
“This verse, powerful and deeply moving, is reflective of a penetrating philosophical mind that sees things as they really are to the eye of the Spirit. The metaphorical imagery is astonishingly vivid…”
“To enter Carolyn Kleefeld’s “aura artistica” is to recapture the rapture of creation. To see the world through her eyes, her art, and her poetry sanctifies the marriage of Life and Love.”
