"Kissing Darkness: Love Poems and Art" by Carolyn Mary Kleefeld & David Wayne Dunn

IN THE TRADITION of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning, "Kissing Darkness" chronicles a dialogue of sensual, spiritual, and poignant poetry between Carolyn Kleefeld and David Dunn over a five-year period. Their poems express a longing for ecstatic union, with each other, with nature, and with the divine. Their dialogue creates a dance, an interplay of personal experience, and a surrender to the greater mystery. With a reverence for the wilderness they inhabit, Carolyn and David both rejoice in the glory, and yield to the death and re-birth cycles which inspire the evolution of souls.

Written at a time of high passion in their relationship, award-winning artist, author and poet Carolyn Mary Kleefeld and poet David Wayne Dunn decided to open their private lives, exposing their deep and intense romance to other lovers of poetry. Theirs is a lovers dialogue in poetry and art.

"Kissing Darkness: Love Poems and Art" tells the story of two lovers tangled in the web of each others passion. Complex and hopelessly romantic, their writings explore the greatest needs of humanity - to find and experience love. Their sometimes painful emotions and wild, erotic explorations of the flesh, carry the reader on tidal waves of loving emotion while at times crashing the soul into depths that result in spiritual growth and higher purpose.
