I am more than my body is the title of a poem that runs midway through this thoughtful, visually stunning collection. It is the pivot on which the journey rests, though the waystops are many and readers are invited to take sanctuary in the visual and poetic prompts which are portals into the self.

In Dancing through the Fire Door, Cindy Rinne has created a multi-textured lexicon of line, word and image which asks the reader to join the ceremony which challenges our losses and converts their energies into the cycles of life and rebirth. How can we peel back the bark which bares our past? To enter, fearless – to engage on all possible levels is to relinquish the destructive hold of history and redirect the soul’s arrow toward infinitude.
