Signed by Author, Softcover May 2022. Reminiscent of a misty Avalon in verse, Carried Away ~ An Interlude in Five Movements, is a lush poetic odyssey through the ephemeral terrains of heart and soul and the watery flow of life that always goes on--but sometimes brings us back around to the gift we couldn't fully open "back when."
Sensual, compelling and deeply experienced, Joni brings us on the return journey with her as she seeks beyond the poignant veil of memory for what still beckons, the gift within the gift.
From the Prelude:
"There was a time I was carried away...by an enchantment. My mind and body taken, my heart stolen, a gift given. A gift that was just suddenly there, reaching into the innermost of me, divinely. A well of feeling I could not drink from deeply enough then. ...I wonder now, in the telling of it, will that thirst finally be satisfied?"
Cover & Interior Art by Brian Blakeman; Edited by Terah Cox with Malinda Labriola. See reviews below.

Praise for Carried Away...
“Hauntingly immersive, Carried Away captures a poised vibrato sounding somewhere just above the surface, in that purgatorial tension between found and lost, salvation and betrayal. ...Her delicate work exposes the raw pungency of longing in a human quest never quite fulfilled—yet continually beckoning.” ~ Elizabeth A. Wilson: Ontologist and author of The Sovereign Way
“Carried Away is all sensation, feeling and flow. Like an impressionist painting, it mesmerizes even as it beckons from the depths with meaning and the wonder of wondering—is this real? Is the journey inner or outer, or both? What veils may be parted? Or torn.” ~ Terah Cox: Editor, poet and author of The Story of Love & Truth, etc.
“...Carried Away... floats over time, [removing] us from the mundane and inviting us to breathe in the liminal and numinous psyche. [The author] holds the image of her opposite throughout the lifeline of this prose with an intense searching, and a fragile restlessness that speaks to all of us.” ~ Kathryn Madden, Ph.D.: Editor-in-Chief of the Quadrant Journal of the C.G. Jung Foundation; author of Dark Light of the Soul and The Unconscious Roots of Creativity
“Carried Away transported me to that realm of lucidity that happens only in dreams and rare moments where all the senses are amplified in unison, and a portal opens to the underlying magic of life itself. ...The poetic ‘moving pictures’ and hypnotic flow of this work pulled me not only into the supernal of Ms. Grâce’s exquisite journey, but simultaneously my own.” ~ Stacie Florer: Artist, writer and Human Design Consultant
“Carried Away is music and movement through nature and longing, and in the fermata, time disappears. In that endless ‘space between two notes,’ the gift of love, unspoken, protects and comforts, and nourishes a burning hunger. Outside the space, love remains a mystery.” ~ Georgi Tomisato: Founding President of Shenandoah Green, Co-Chair Earth Day Staunton
“A wonderful description of the indescribable. Joni Grâce invites us on a richly poetic exploration of the soul’s deepest questions, and takes us with her to the place where nature and the supernatural meet, somewhere between the knowing and the unknowing.” ~ Tanya Leah: Artist, musician and award-winning, multi-platinum songwriter
"In Carried Away, Joni Grâce has created a work so evanescent that I wasn’t sure it would still be there when I went back to read it again! The harmonic vibration of her words results in a sensuous and visceral pull into the depths of one’s own soul journey. Her elegant language and imagery together create a mystical melody that touches the mind and heart. Simply a beautiful composition." ~ Cathleen O’Connor, PhD: Author, The Collection: Flash Fiction for Flash Memory; President, The International Women’s Writing Guild
