Our Lady Gaia and New Literary Works

 

My friend Carlyn Flint—a playwright, teacher, and illustrator—collaborated with me to bring Our Lady Gaia to life. This self-published children’s book through Carly and Luminare Press Publishing explores our relationship with the earth, infused with respect and love. It was also translated into Spanish, making it a valuable learning tool across cultures and generations . It is now also in Italian on my website.

 

While in Ireland, I will learn to translate Our Lady Gaia into Irish (Gaeilge). While also developing a distilled edition of a lifetime of my best poetry and writings, illustrated by Ukrainian fine artist Vasyl Woodland. He has graciously permitted me to use his work to illustrate my book of poems, titled 'Human Being....' His Art reflects the deep spiritual ties between the North American indigenous, nature-based traditions and the indigenous practices of the Ukrainian people. Vasyl studied under Norval Morrisseau--Copper Thunderbird , widely regarded as the grandfather of contemporary indigenous art in Canada. His mentorship helped shape Vasyl's unique style, which brings deep cultural resonance to my poetry collection, Human Being.

 

I also have a new children's story, 'Coyote Hawk and Grandmother Bear' ready to come to life. This narrative continues my theme of wisdom, earth based spirituality, and indigenous storytelling.
