Hermit Season

Poems and visions that celebrate rest and recovery

Bread Sex Trees

When death is the water, and love is the raft, grief is the oar, let it move you through.

Secrets & Stars

I lost you, but found myself.

Hermit Season

Poems & Visions that celebrate rest

“Powerful imagery had me immersed deep within the forest, kneeling next to the fairies, and reminding myself to pause and breathe.” Olivia

The Hermit archetype can get kind of a bad wrap in our culture of productivity and success. But the Hermit is about retreating into the depths and wisdom of our inner lives, in order to come back out with gained wisdom, rest, and a replenished spirit.  

This collection is full of messages I’ve collected over the past few years from my interior travels.  They are poems and visions of rest, hope, grief, self love, and acceptance.  This is a book that encourages the radical act of doing nothing of consequence for a bit in order to alchemize and integrate our experiences. Hermit Season is not an escape from the world, but rather, a necessary stop on the way back to it. 

BREAD SEX TREES

You do not need me
to teach you of your wild,
you need only to remember it.
Say your true name
quietly, under your breath.
Tell no one your secret.

A collection about the things that make life beautiful even when you’re buried in grief, Bread Sex Trees is a journey through the wheel of the year told in poetry. Available most places you can buy books online

Secrets & Stars

For the wolven creatures and

the feral den mothers

For the heartbroken dreamers

reclaiming their voices, their time, their wholeness.

For everyone who refuses to be tamed.

For you, my gently rebellious seekers,

my fiercely sensitive kin,

I offer you a piece of my heart.

Audrey - so beautiful

“I am a poet too, and maybe that's why this little book of poetry feels like one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. All I know is that it's going on my bookshelf and it will be read a thousand times, and I will buy more copies and give them as gifts. I cried and it broke my heart and yet it made me feel full. And it touched me on a cellular level.”

 

Shannon - Magical and moving

“There is nothing to not love about this poetry collection and the magical, moving words of Alix Klingenberg. The editing of the book is so intentional. The first piece “Introduction” lured me in with such sensitive storytelling and vivid imagery. The final title piece, “Secrets and Stars” offered closure but left me wanting more. If you want to be allowed to feel, if you want to be transported to the darkness and the forests and the deepest parts of yourself, and most importantly, if you love foxes and the moon, buy Secrets & Stars.”

 

Katarina - I love this poetry more than I can say

“If you enjoy poetry you will love this... it is one of the most beautiful collections of words and with such an evocative use of language... it resonates deeply on a very personal level and expresses dark moments in a way that touches my soul. I am in love with this book. I have so far purchased 3- one for myself of course, and then 2 as gifts because it is too special not to share.”
