Crimes of the Dreamer: Poems
Poetry. In Naomi Ruth Lowinsky's work as a Jungian analyst she was flooded by poems dealing with the analytic process that now comprise the core of CRIMES OF THE DREAMER. "The dance of her poems is a recovery of the deep anima-energy. Lowinsky's mythic orientation allows her to move easily among various realms: personal, religious, historical. 'My story is different/than the one men tell' she insists in an earlier book. Here the crime is the crime of birth and history, which the poet not only redeems but re-dreams. Again and Again the book transport us to what Lowinsky calls that primal place in which the god-image leaps out of the animal realm." Jack Foley"

Crimes of the Dreamer
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
How is poetry born? In Crimes of the Dreamer, Naomi Lowinsky says that: "The word climbs out of the sea where there have been so many in and out of each other's bellies." Once those words emerge: "i string my own pearls down the tunnels of night i follow my own thread." And so she does follow her own thread, weave her own prayer shawl. These are poems from a poet "who is all magnetism hot core cold sky rock bright mist veils her who spins the invisible thread - " To slightly paraphrase, Wordsworth said that poetry is strong emotion recollected in tranquility. Naomi Lowinsky's poetry dives down into the depths that underlie that strong emotion and brings up the rock deep symbols that lie beneath them. Her poems are confessional in the deepest sense, not merely confessing the "crimes of the dreamer," but the longings and revelations of someone who has: "padded through your dreams as lion as tiger." This is touching, powerful, lovely poetry that speaks to the inner life of every man and woman.
Breathtaking Collection of Poems
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Naomi Ruth Lowinsky has done it again, and beyond. Her STORIES FROM THE MOTHERLINE moved me deeply, and then her poems in RED CLAY TALKING. Now I'm immersed in the new breathtaking collection from a treasured poet and colleague, a "sister-in-dreaming." In CRIMES OF THE DREAMER, Lowinsky's poems are infused with the animal body - and at the same time spiritual heritage of sensations, feelings, emotions, multi-sensory imagination, spontaneous physical action. Similar to psychotherapy and analysis as it is meant to be, the encounter is joyful, insightful, deeply moving -- at once limitless and well held. Don't miss it! She brings us the food and water of life.
