Today we celebrate a book birthday for one of our Blueprint Series publications—Book of Hours! Three years ago today, Book of Hours was published, making it the second oldest Stenen Press book. Congratulations to author & artist .dolp
“Every generation needs to breathe new life into the old stories and to refresh the old ways of telling those stories, of conveying those truths. For centuries, Books of Hours were considered to be “pocket cathedrals,” handfuls of beauty and wisdom, stories to boost the spirit and deepen the soul. In that tradition comes Laura Dolp’s lovely collection, and it comes just in time, as a character-centering practice. Highly recommended.”
—Phil Cousineau, editor of The Soul of the World and author of The Art of Pilgrimage

Thanks for the beautiful review of The Soul / El alma, ! 🤩
The full review: “”The Soul Conveys Itself in Shadow / El alma se mueve en la sombra” is an anthology with a powerful and raw expression of poetic identity. Its pattern is kaleidoscopic, woven with vibrant threads of diverse voices, delving into themes of love, loss, and liberation. It is not a book one simply reads; it’s an experience, a communion with the multifaceted soul of language. The translations, while literal in their approach, effectively capture the original voices of the authors. Additionally, the artwork is intricately detailed and visually stunning.”
