In Threed: This Road Not Damascus, Tamara Madison’s first full-length collection of poetry, this poet and performer dances between mythical and tactile worlds. Through intimate conversations with ancestors, the Bible, and her own self as a poet and mother, she is not subtle in her message. In the first poem “Wombing: Three-Breasted Woman Shares Her Birth Story” Madison writes “I did not come here just to fight. I came/ to love you.” The word “threed” is defined by Madison as “a being carrying three breasts (or another appendage) where normally there are two.” This prophetic figure, the three-breasted woman, acts as a muse and a guide throughout the book.

Learn how the author, Leonard Burg-a spiritual seeker educated and trained at the feet of master indigenous healers, saints and leaders-has come to realize that "Disease" is not just physical. It's more like DIS-EASE-it includes suffering upsetting physical symptoms, conflicts or problems that are not the "enemy" to beat, but are designed to heal and awaken one to the realization of one's true SELF as a spiritual being. Are you among those who, irrespective of fame, fortune, or social/economic status, have often felt at a loss-suffering from prolonged estrangement, stress, overburdened, unfulfilled, or not valued for who you are and what you have to offer-whether within self or in relationships, institutions, the business world or society at large?
