About A Mystic in the Mystery
The poems in A Mystic in the Mystery capture the nebulous spirit within all of us as well as the beauty of the natural world. Berg shares the inspiration she glimpses in a lunar eclipse as easily as she turns a poetic phrase about clover strewn pathways, dragonfly wings, or simple walks. Then she turns inward to reflect on romantic and familial love, the writing life, and the transitions we make through various roles, careers, and ages.
