Rebecca Leet's poetry demonstrates that she inhales both the common and the extraordinary in life - and exhales each with exquisite phrasing and uncommon insight. In a style distinct yet accessible, she brings out the elegance in everyday language.\u003ci\u003e Living with the Doors Wide Open\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a life \u003ci\u003elived \u003c\/i\u003e lyrically - sometimes painful, sometimes playful, often mystical, always passionate and authentic. One poem finds profundity in the sad eyes of a woman running for President while another sees it in the timid tremor of a baby sparrow. Poetic lament of love and loss is sung in a forgiving voice. Throughout the collection runs a theme of the unity of all life and our opportunities for routine reverence; she posits as wordless prayer the \"sigh to see the moon full round ... pause to seek the rainbow source.\" \u003ci\u003eLiving with the Doors Wide Open\u003c\/i\u003e creates places where you find yourself - and feel better because you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebecca King Leet started to write poetry in college, until an aunt - the \"writer\" in her family - castigated her for not creating \"happy poems.\" She didn't return to it seriously for decades. In between, she worked as a newspaper reporter covering the U.S. Congress, press secretary to a U.S. Senator, and, eventually, a consultant and developer of a unique approach to creating persuasive messages. When she slackened her pace of worklife in 2015, she embraced poetry again - as much for being a way of living as a way of writing. She has found journal editors more supportive of her poetry than aunts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 134\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 03, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344412270899,"sku":"9781940769967","price":27.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/XR_EFshOgk9781940769967.webp?v=1778725486","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/living-with-the-doors-wide-open-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
