Brenda Asterino

Brenda Asterino’s Pathways is a meditation in verse. The cadence in her verses is the heartbeat of the soul. Her striking similes remind me of passages from the Puranas, the Bhagavad-Gita or Buddha’s wisdom. Brenda’s words resonate through the fibers and molecules within the body. Her approach to observation goes beyond the translucid, fragile wings of the bees, the blueness beyond the horizon, the light behind closed doors and the soul within the heart. Life’s fragility is exposed, manifested like a teeter-totter as the poet questions the beliefs created by the cultures we’ve built around us, never sinking but leveling off on the face of this Earth. I am delighted by the element of surprise, the twirls of the humankind as the author beacons us to continue to dance the rhythm of life. —Raúl Sánchez, City of Redmond Poet Laureate.

Reviews (0)

The poems in Pathways are divided into categories that express overriding themes that have continually presented themselves to Asterino as important in her life. Through her words, she expresses the need for cultural attitude changes including cultural priority shifts. Her greatest desire is for her grandchildren to have a fighting chance for a future. It is through several decades of writing and self-exploration that Asterino has learned to be more observant about the world and about culture. Most importantly, she has learned about how our awareness of others and how we treat others affects everyone else, everywhere.

Brenda Asterino

Brenda Asterino lives on Lopez Island, Washington, where she volunteers with the local independent radio station, KLOI-LP 102.9 FM, as a producer. She also volunteers with the American Red Cross. Asterino worked as a private and public educator for nearly twenty-five years when life was forever changed by a car accident. Her education includes an AA in Humanities, BS in Biology, and MA in Education, along with many years of training in parapsychology, Energy Work and Body Work. With Pathways being her second poetry publication, Consciousness is an overriding theme that intertwines and entangles all aspects of everything. Genealogy seems to be an area that will support many people's ideas about themselves. In hoping that we all find we have shared so much of all human stories, may we all rejoice in our shared struggles and insights. Asterino supports nonviolent environmental activism, appreciation of diversity of cultures and humanity, and hopes for unity of everyone for the health and well-being of all children everywhere.
