‘on intimacies’, by Karen Sayegh, is a collection of contemporary poetic prose encapsulating some elements of her current soft-spoken understanding on wisdom, inner life, art and science. Karen attempts to give back to the word ‘intimacy’ its very own glory, essence, wholeness, legitimacy, caliber; its own sublime magnetic breadth and depth.
The debut author escorts the reader into a set of contemplative human experiences, inner lands and inner nectar to explore, embody and ultimately harmonize, even ambitiously align the fabric of the heart, body, mind and soul. She also chaperones the reader into a daring state of bold active surrender and receptivity.
Karen encourages and facilitates an opening process towards our many facets of self-intimacies to creatively engage in and flirt with, while breathing rhythmically throughout her words and silences. While settling and immersing into every page, the reader is invited to embrace some new notions, levels, depths and dimensions of humanity and inner expansive hyper-realities.
As a pharmacist, Karen created and designed a book as a balancing literary artistic medicine; a combined portal and compass of freedom, health, love, growth and beauty.
Being Lebanese came to her with encrypted wealth, a rich identity and belief-based challenges in a volatile and un-stable atmosphere all of which required visceral, infectious and inventive answers; a leap of faith for her, for the collective and for the un-filtered and un-layered humanity in all of us.
As an urban poet, she looks forward to sharing her inward and upward spiral…her visceral impassioned call for more intimacy and expansion on all levels.
