Summons of the Soul: Poetry

In The Summons of the Soul, Keziah Isaacson explores the intricate journey of existence--the paths we take, the uncertainty of our steps, and the meaning we create along the way. Through poetry inspired by her travels through Japan, Greece, and Italy, as well as the untamed beauty of Idaho's wilderness, she reflects on the delicate balance between searching and surrendering, movement and stillness, presence and absence.

At the heart of this collection lies the question: What is the purpose of our journey? Like a map with no starting point, we navigate life without clear directions, trusting the unknown and embracing the unseen. In poems like The Cartography of Absence, Keziah invites readers to consider that the search for nothing is the search for everything--that in the spaces we cannot fill, we uncover the opportunity to create, to grow, and to redefine our purpose.

Blending themes of adventure, spiritual wellness, and the profound connection between body and soul, this collection speaks to those who seek meaning in the quiet spaces of life. Whether in the rhythm of a hike, the solitude of a sunrise, or the comfort of a familiar cup of coffee, these poems remind us that not all paths are meant to be found--some are meant to be created.
