Overview

This is a book of signs, both real and surreal, and the personal pleas that flow out of trying to follow their beautiful and brutal twists and turns: one minute about restarts and resting places; the next, car crashes and tiresome betrayals; ultimately leading to many hard won resolutions. It is a collection of complaints, hallelujahs, and complete exhaustion and/or surrender - all the essentials of life. Dena Parker Duke has published four books of poetry: In Your Bones: Poems of Radical Forgiveness; Tiny Lights: Small Poems for Big Moments; When You Know: Poems of Self-Love; and Your Tiny Light: The Divine Light You Carry.

EDNA SHOCHAT, Award winning poet, whose book Decent Exposure won a Woodrow Hall Top Shelf Award in 2025""Once I began to read your poems I couldn't put them down.Fascinating.While everyone else may just look at what's around us - you see what others do not.Your opening line is an invitation to the reader to open...A docent leading the visitor to explore...A Poetic-Yoga instructor sharing life lessons to help smooth the road for others... You learn from what you see and it enriches you so you share the lessons with the reader.And there is so much there. I dig deeper and unveil the many layers, uncover what hides between the lines and lies under the surface.The best gift I could have imagined - especially at this challenging time.The vocabulary leaves me speechless.SO visual, like a scene from Walt Disney's 1940 film, Fantasia. You are the butterfly who unfolds her origami wings into magic.""FATHER DAVID WETTSTEIN""[These poems] are the gift and grace and healing of your journey into God.""JUDITH EVANS, Substack blogger and creator at Kitchen Table Resistance ""Drawing from the sacred, from nature, and from everyday life, Dena Duke's poems eloquently express things that can be difficult to put into words.""REV. T.J. REMALEY ""My prayer is that your readers will experience a degree of healing.This is beautiful, profound art.""

Author Information

Dena Parker Duke is an Idaho based author and poet. Raised to believe she had no words to share, writing poetry became her big rebellion. Aware of just how much the human body and spirit long to be heard and to tell the truth, she found writing poetry a great way to do both. Since 2020 she has published 4 books of poetry (one a children's book based on one of her poems) with another book of poems waiting in the wings. She is working to tip the scales toward more of the words that deserve to be said and those we are all longing to hear. www.goldenrationw.com
