Dharma's Dance

by Christine Poythress

Overview

Dharma's Dance traces Christine Poythress' journey in search of love or a Mr. Right from the repressive South to her free-loving twenties in 1970s California. Her journey culminates with the acceptance, as an older woman, of becoming invisible to men and the futility of chasing youth. With the wisdom of age, comes a joy of acceptance and a delight in being in the dance. After all, It's the Only Dance There Is-Baba Ram Dass. This New Age collection is at once serious, filled with wit, and grounded in the mystical.

About the Author

Christine Poythress a daughter of the Deep South, fled to California in 1970, where she discovered Baba Ram Dass and Alan Watts. Though serious writing never crossed her mind at that time, she began journaling and scribbling poems in the margins of her drawings. While in college, she discovered opera which propelled her to New York City where she studied by day and as a singing waitress, sang arias at night. In 1983, she moved back to the South, and for 13 years, she sang country, pop, top forties, and jazz tunes in hotels, honkytonks, and corporate events. Since 2014, she has studied creative writing with award-winning author, Rosemary Daniell and has focused on writing poetry, memoir, and essays. Her work has appeared in Quillkeepers Press, Tangled Locks Journal, and Synchronized Chaos.
