Sipping Moonlight: Poems from a Forest Path

Poetry has been the language of devotion for as long as we have bowed our heads to the Divine. In keeping with this ancient tradition, Sipping Moonlight: Poems from a Forest Path by Uma-parvathinath invites us into the author’s sadhana and meditations and shares her intimate encounters with the Divine Mother. In turns diary, spiritual roadmap, treatise on the transcendental power of nature, and transmission from the Divine Feminine Herself, this collection of poems will draw you closer to the Divine in all Her forms – including yourself.
