Solarium

(Prisms, Volume 4)

Solarium is a powerful collection of poems that speak to the astonishing spirits of cities and built environments as spaces that can activate inner contemplation and spiritual or artistic rebirth. This volume also includes a nostalgic and evocative collection of Lauren Coyle Rosen’s photography, taken in Oslo, Norway.

This is the fourth volume in Prisms, the illuminating second series of Lauren Coyle Rosen’s selected poetic works. Prisms as frame refers to the ways in which the light of spirit or consciousness is refracted through various forms in our inner and outer realms – through prisms of the mind, heart, and soul, and through prisms of culture and nature, music and words, and much else. As with her first series of poetry, Smokeless Mirrors (in three volumes), the Prisms series resonates with Lauren Coyle Rosen’s broader works on art, spirituality, consciousness, and liberation in prose and in other modalities.
