We're happy to announce on a new collaboration with author and educator Janice Winokur on her first collection of poetry and prose, In the Light of an Alabama Rain: A Meditation. One tree will be planted with Eco-Libris for each copy of this book!
Here's more about In the Light of an Alabama Rain: A Meditation:
Containing a rich tapestry of insights and reflections, this highly readable collection of vignettes is both memoir and spiritual exploration.
The pieces in this book are drawn from Winokur’s journal, recorded in Alabama during the late 1980s.As the author was getting ready to discard some old papers recently, she began to read through her journal. According to Winokur, “I was surprised to find that a number of entries still felt true, even with the passage of years, and that together they seemed to compose a meditation.”
She assembled these entries and they became In the Light of an Alabama Rain: A Meditation. Readers who look for inspiration in stories and words will be lifted up by the glimpses of light discovered here in the smallest, and sometimes the darkest moments of life.A childhood memory, a parent’s decline, the absence of a loved one, and many other experiences, are probed by Winokur for their sparks of illumination.
Read from beginning to end, the book is a single, Spirit-filled love poem that embraces all of life, both the mundane and the profound.
The book retails for $12.95 and can be purchased at area bookstores. Orders can also be placed by contacting Simple Harvest Publications at:
