Announcing Zayra Yves' newest book of Poetry: Ordinary Substance

Ordinary Substance is a journey through relationships and spiritualism with a focus on Toaist and Buddhist perceptions as life presents itself through ordinary every day experiences. This book is a search through the imprints of the psyche at various levels of conditioning to simply be with it as it is; to fully accept ourselves as we are reflected in the mirror of words. Zayra's poetry invites the reader to be present within themselves, as much as with her. She guides you on an authentic spiritual journey via the poetic arts through the yin and yang of words as demonstrated through disillusionment, emptiness, awe, then fullness, sweetness and love. Plus there is a wonderful introduction by Bill Harris, the founder of the Centerpointe Research Institute, and one of the teachers featured on Integral Naked. Click here to purchase!

 

In support of Zayra's new book, we present eight poems from her latest Audio CD, Sleep in the Sea Tonight with Me.

Sleep in the Sea Tonight with Me reminds us that once you love with complete surrender there is no shore to turn back to, no map or language to describe the depths of such emotions, or the loss that follows and the paradox of wholeness all at once. In this sensual poetic collection, you will want to submerge yourself in the waters of love over and over again; you will volunteer to be lost in the sea of ecstasy.

The hard copy of Sleep in the Sea Tonight with Me comes with a six panel black and white photography session that accompanies the listener on a beautiful journey into the soul of passion, eros and love. Even if you are a digital download junkie, you will want the photos that accompany this collection! Sexy and sensual, moody and erotic, timeless and in exotic bloom. Click here to purchase!

Crowned Compassion is a celebration of love by the poet Zayra Yves, who takes the listener on a soulful ride, a cosmic sojourn through time and space, embracing the spiritual and the provincial alike. Her poetry explores the textures of emotion and the sultry passions that animate so much of our reality.  She invites her listeners into a private journey from Cairo to Cape Town, from being born to dying and resurrection of the heart, as her words weave together the personal and the transpersonal.  Crowned Compassion is something fresh—Zayra expresses emotional authenticity in a soulful and mesmerizing voice that offers healing through the gateway of all life, embraced fully as it is.

Crowned Compassion is dedicated to the memory of Michael Luke English.
