Janet Lee Butler’s Searching For Eden is a lyrical and sensual collection of short poems that condense moments, seasons, movements and perceptions in and out of light and shadow, all the while creating an expansive quality of contemplation. The ever present shadows/ “shadow side” lurk in the imagination in a variety of intriguing guises. Butler’s poems possess a gentle grace, eloquently paced, with a quiet reflective tension which pulls the reader into a dreamlike flow. Breathe with these poems and feel something that you can’t let go of and won’t let go of you: the finite sharing the stage with the infinite. Spend time with these poems, as the experience deepens as they are read over and over again. ”
