Mosaic
Poems of Midlife
A collection for the woman stepping into her most powerful era. These poems boldly explore perimenopause and menopause, addressing themes of healing, transformation, acceptance, community, and mortality.
"I have rarely found a collection of poems that speak so deeply to my midlife soul. Mosaic is a beautiful tapestry of recollections, stories, memories, creative visions, and reflections that are colorfully woven together to reveal an offering to the mind, body, and spirit. As a woman navigating the raging storm of midlife myself and trying to befriend an autumnal sunset, I find Jennifer's voice to be an exquisite guide."
–Katia Wallace, author of The Goddess of Suburbia: A Homemaker's Anthology of Divinely Feminine Poems Written at the Kitchen Table
"Mosaic speaks in a grounded, earthy voice, while galloping like a wild, untamed horse in the vast landscapes of the imagination. In her midlife, Jennifer learns to make art and beauty out of pieces and shards. All the poems have a strong visual power, like pictures with clean contours and broad areas of well-defined color. I can see why she is a moth, not a butterfly: she is drawn to the fire, the raw center of life. And after burning, she undergoes transformation."
–Francesca Aniballi, PhD, author of Fairy Wisdom for Daily Life: Creative Self-Care Through Fairy and Folk Tales
Seasons and Solace
Poems for the Wheel of the Year
Rooted in animism and Celtic spirituality, these soulful verses offer a pathway to all who long for a deeper, more meaningful connection to the world around them.
"Created with words of ancient ways of being and knowing, living and doing, Seasons and Solace: Poems for the Wheel of the Year is a portal to the deeper self and a MUST HAVE for any and all who walk with Nature, honoring her ways and the rites of ritual that both plant us in the moment and simultaneously pull us forward season into season. A gift from the heart, this is truly a treasure to be savored word by word."
–Arlene Bailey, creator of Her Sacred Wild
"We need companions on our journey through the sacred mundane wonder of life on this earth. We need reminders of our own belonging. We need encouragement that to see this planet, these stones, this sky, these trees as friends are not the whims of a solitary seeker, but are experiences shared by ordinary mystics and backyard pilgrims all across this wondrous planet. Seasons and Solace by Jennifer Miller is one such companion."
–Molly Remer, author of Walking with Persephone: A Journey of Midlife Descent and Renewal
