Enlightened Hyena Press Announces Publication Date for Susanne West's "Subterranean Light"

SAN FRANCISCO - March 10, 2020 - PRLog -- Enlightened Hyena Press (http://www.hyenapress.com/) announced today that it has set a publication data of April 26, 2020 for Subterranean Light, a new book of poetry by Susanne West. The poems in Subterranean Light are intended to illuminate the possibilities for entering into a sacred relationship with all aspects of life.

"We are honored to be able to publish this latest work by Susanne West," said a spokesperson for the company. "Seen through West's personal lens, the poetry truly speaks to the vital issues of being human. Her works deal with transformation, illness, death and dying, and so much more."

West came to the themes covered in Subterranean Light through personal experience. These encompassed her daughter's and granddaughter's serious illnesses, her mother's death and brother's suicide. The author invites readers to move into the center of pain, loss and heartbreak while also engaging deeply with joy, gratitude and beauty. She envisions the book as a way to share her personal spiritual and psychological work, love of poetry, especially spiritual poetry—to cultivate an awareness of the profound nature of the teachings and gifts of adversity.

The poems are accessible and relatable. Early reviews praise the work as being "graceful and potent transmission in every written word," providing "innumerable doorways, guiding you to deeply feel and experience the totality of your very being." Another reviewer characterized West as "the real deal, a poet who walks the walk of a deeply integrated spiritual life." She then added, "You can feel it in her gorgeous, inspired poetry that radiates with light even in the midst of great difficulty and darkness."

West is a writer, poet, professor of psychology and nondual coach. She was on the faculty of John F. Kennedy University for thirty years and taught classes in the Consciousness and Transformative Studies and BA Psychology Programs. Susanne received the Harry L. Morrison Distinguished Teaching Award at JFKU. She has worked in community organizations and private settings with individuals and groups since 1984, specializing in psychospiritual growth and transformation, writing and creative expression. She is the founder of two writing programs and the author of Soul Care for Caregivers: How to Help Yourself While Helping Others.  Subterranean Light is her first poetry collection.
