Softening Time

From beloved yogi, teacher, and artist Elena Brower comes the writer’s new poetry collection: a lyrical exploration of grief, self-compassion, and learning from the past to navigate life’s challenges with grace.
Softening Time is both autobiography and self-help, poetry and inspiration. Drawing on events in her own life, including her experiences as a mother and a bereaved daughter, Brower writes poignantly on themes of loss, healing, and rebirth.

Punctuating her work with themed quotations from a wide variety of celebrated writers and thinkers, Brower guides the reader along an intimate journey of both deepening and “softening” self-awareness.
