The Light that Shines Inside Us is a triptych that ushers the reader from section I, \u201cWe are One,\u201d in which we are invited to see all humanity from Somalia, to Iraq, to Trieste, to the US as one world and one people struggling to survive; to section II, the \u201cHuman Landscape,\u201d which offers us a more intimate glimpse of the poet\u2019s own life and experience; to section III, \u201cReverence,\u201d an attempt to find a transcendent rapprochement with the contradictions of life through the art of the poem. In this book, we discover a poet who has traveled far and feels deeply; her poems bear witness and are a testament to those evanescent encounters with the world that make us human by giving us images that are sometimes stark, many times poignant, but always haunting, leaving us with a vision of life actually lived from a poet who has plunged deeply into that life. Bouvard instructs us to \u201cPay attention\u2026 \/ there is no safety\/ behind a wall \/ open the windows \/ of your eyes\u00a0 heart\u00a0 mind \/ listen\u00a0\u00a0 to the trees \/ singing the earth\u2019s homily.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014Gary Walton, Poet and Editor<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Across cultures and languages, wars and illnesses, brief intense joys and relentless suffering, her poems radiate compassion and a universal humanity.\u00a0<em><strong>The Light That Shines Inside Us<\/strong>,<\/em>\u00a0in its plainspoken spiritual strength, is a radical affirmation of timeless values.<br \/>\n \u2014Stephen Kessler, author of\u00a0<em><strong>Scratch Pegasus<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With this profound collection, <strong><em>The Light That Shines Inside Us<\/em><\/strong>, Marguerite Guzman Bouvard offers us a rare exposition of the mind, heart, and soul. Bouvard\u2019s poems are tender and spiritual, personal and prophetic; they are packed with powerful narratives and lyric meditations that are the light and the dark of the World\u2019s Empire. Her heart and moral intelligence express to us how the earth unfolds. Her words will break your heart, and heal your soul. As she speaks to us in \u201cMonet\u2019s Homage,\u201d There are no beginnings, no endings\/no boundaries in the abundance\/of meadows, wisterias rising\/below a bridge in blazing stalagmites.\/Rock formations throb\/in the writhing seas. The earth\/is sacred. Its powerful visions \/call to us in a dark world. I loved this journey, and I am sure you will too.<br \/>\n \u2014Preston H.
