"Whether she speaks of love and passion, or pain and the mystery behind all human experience (for Zayra is a mystic in the truest sense of the word), her words will speak to a place deep inside of you that, once called, awakens—and once awakened, changes you forever.

I once told my students that Zayra’s poetry would make their toes curl. I should have said that it would make their souls curl."

- Bill Harris - Spiritual Teacher, Centerpointe Research Institute (www.centerpointe.com) & one of the teachers featured in The Secret.

Zayra Yves poems are often spiritual without being religious, and she writes boldly and unflinchingly about subjects which are often controversial and sometimes painful. She values sincerity and openness and those values are obvious in her writing. In the time I've known her, I've come to value Zayra as much for her sensitivity as for her amazing writing. I hope that everyone who sees this will have already read her book and be as cognizant as I am of the high quality with which Zayra endows everything she does.

"The work of Zayra Yves is earthy, mystical, flowing - like a river that moves through the universe of stars. In its course, it reveals the human suffering that cries from the abyss, the majestic cathedral of the ceremonial soul, the erotic body of light, the undeniable presence of the muse, the great hope for a more expansive state of compassion, and the rapture of total abandonment of love.

Empty as Nirvana hides nothing. This most recent book is a powerful, evocative, and beautiful collection of pure poetry by the immensely talented Zayra Yves."

- Stefano Resta (filmmaker, artist and poet www.stefanoresta.com)

“A highly talented and intelligent individual. Zayra is a superb poetess with a deep understanding of the human psyche. Her work is of the highest standard, and she is a perfectionist who will not brook anything that is remotely sub-standard. Her poetic works are therefore quite phenomenal in their depth, understanding and tone. She is a master of the written and spoken word.”
