The
Illuminated Life
is a fresh and original sequence of poems that sheds light on the inner
culture of human experience. Fred Wah writes of her poetry, Nancy
Mackenzie breathes into poetry a philosophy of is-ness that is refreshing
and renewing. In The Illuminated Life, Nancy Mackenzie reflects
upon the nature of the sacred and the secular, holiness and wholeness.
The poems of this strong second collection are at once personal and universal,
both mythic and meditative. Nancy Mackenzies authentic poetic voice
bears witness to a spiritual essence hidden within the quotidien.
