Seasons of the Soul - 38 Lyric Poems

Named Moonflower, "one who blooms in the darkness," by an Acoma Pueblo tribal elder in the 1960s, Manley's 38 poems burst forth with love, resiliency, and sheer joy. Playful, yet poignant, the author's skill with the written word pulls you in and holds you until the very end.

Beverley Manley lives in the small desert town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. A childhood rooted in the Great Depression, and the Jim Crow south could have defined and held her, but Beverley instead chose love, light, adventure, and freedom.

Her wanderlust led her to San Francisco during the 1960s where her true spirit was finally embraced. Deciding on a career in accounting, her off-hours were filled with music, art, and museums. Buddhism continues to ground her spiritually, and she has a deep passion for the plight of Indigenous peoples. This is her second book of poetry. Internationally best-selling author of "When You're Falling, Dive" and "The Boy He Left Behind."
