The Sacred in the Everyday: Discovering Stillness, Grace, and Soulful Meaning Through Poetry
Poetry is often the vessel through which we explore our innermost truths—and in Sacred Soul, Bulgarian poet Svetla Yordanova offers a rare invitation into a world shaped by introspection, spiritual seeking, and raw human emotion. Originally published in a bilingual edition in 1995 and now re-released for a broader English-speaking audience, this collection is a timeless bridge between Eastern European depth and universal human experience.
From the opening verses of “Touch” to the soul-stirring lines of “Sacred Soul,” Yordanova guides readers through vignettes of love, loss, motherhood, mortality, and philosophical reflection. She writes not to impress, but to connect—to invite us to see the world and ourselves with new eyes. Whether she is speaking as a visionary (“The Visionary”), questioning identity (“Someone Else”), or exploring divine presence (“Close to God”), her voice is gentle yet piercing.
What makes Sacred Soul truly remarkable is its ability to hold both the intimate and the infinite in a single stanza. Yordanova’s metaphors dance between ancient myth and modern reality, personal memory and collective truth. Her poem “Like Hipatia,” for example, honors the martyrdom of a female philosopher while making a powerful statement about truth and courage in today’s world.
“Reading Sacred Soul feels like holding a mirror up to your spirit—what you find may surprise you, heal you, or simply remind you that you are not alone.” — Reader Reflection
For readers who seek more than words—for those who seek to feel, to reflect, to be moved—Sacred Soul is not just a book. It’s a companion for the quiet hours, a mirror to your thoughts, and a sacred conversation between poet and soul.
