Red Clay Is Talking: Poems - Tapa blanda

Poetry. RED CLAY IS TALKING is the first published collection of poetry by prominent Jungian analyst Naomi Ruth Lowinsky. In this new collection, Lowinsky transcribes her experience as a woman, and a young mother, a traveler in India into her poetry. "The voice here is rich and musical. It balances the breadth of a woman's life on the turtle back, the bull's hips of myth"--Richard Silberg. "This is a poetry of quest, and the poet takes us through myriad ages and cultures. We partake with her in ecstasy and darkness, passion, epiphany and hunger, and our world is larger for it"--Diane di Prima.

NAOMI RUTH LOWINSKY was born in California to Jewish parents who emigrated from Europe to escape persecution. Her childhood was spent in many landscapes: North Carolina, Italy, New York, New Jersey, back to California. She studied literature at the University of California at Berkeley and now writes poetry and prose, teaches psychology and creativity, and practices Jungian analysis. She is a member analyst of the San Francisco Jung Institute, where she teaches in the training program as well as in the public programs. She is Poetry and Fiction Editor for Psychological Perspectives, a magazine published by the Los Angeles Jung Institute, and reviews poetry for The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal. Her book, The Motherline: Every Woman's Journey to Find Her Female Roots, was published by Putnam in 1992.
