Songs of the Spirit

The true spirit of the Fast is captured in 19 poems, one for each day. Below are reviews from readers:

"...each day's poem is heartwarming and strengthening." - Ruth Cook

"Dawn’s tender poems are a wonderful personal testament and welcomed 'thoughts of love' - in opposition to the noisy and divisive rhetoric that is all too common these days." - Mark Remignanti

"I really enjoyed your book of poems - so earnest and heartfelt, so deeply contemplative. And I loved the accompanying photographs - you have a great gift for capturing simple beauty." - Anne O'Sullivan

"Your book is so prayerful and the photographs are a wonderful bonus . I think it must have got me motivated for Lent as I feel I am already doing better and getting in the spirit of the season more than other years. . . a treasured gift." - Patricia Gallagher

I read the poems with friends any chance I get. . . I have no doubts your wonderful book will warm the hearts of many for years to come. I enjoy one poem each day. I am tempted to read them all, but my treat is to have a new one each day of the fast." - Carmel Rose Ghademi
