Amrita

If Amrita, the substance, is the elixir of immortality, Amrita the book is the elixir of imagination and common sense. From the introductory poem where we are reminded how in the fact of living we share responsibility "even for the rotation of the earth"; to the playful final piece where we are invited to participate in the challenge of creative presence- "Dare ya' to turn it down" -Sandy Karng urges and teases, remembers and observes, stands and falls and feels her way to laying claim to that "parcel of heaven" discoverable in the grounding of a life experienced and generously communed.
