Tasting the Stars: Sensuous & Contemplative Poetry

TASTING THE STARS is an extraordinary and timeous collection of poems arising from a devotional place lived and from within the visionary tradition and philosophy of non-dual Tantra. Tina Gonçalves poetry glistens with emphatic and elemental inner and outer relationships drawing the reader into its meditative world through a precise and sensuous modulation of sound and space. Technically assured and balanced her poems are suggestive necessary and restorative. Treasure each word slowly and be calmed by them.- David Caddy Editor of International Literary Journal Tears in the FenceThese poems are portals to guide you deep inside and beyond.- Scott Murden The Human Experience CoachSo beautiful. So vulnerable. So moving. Such a gorgeous journey. The internal deliberate and almost still movement seemed to float across from a sensuous sensitive love to a love that finds its own two feet and eventually embraces its own cosmic singularity.- Anuraag Dhoundeyal Composer & Classical Indian VocalistEach poem conjures a pause a moment of reflection and beauty. I especially love that they serve as meditations in their own right - and engage and invite the reader to be still to reflect and to breathe.- Louise Anne Buchler Director & Playwright
