What’s in the Book? - Marika Reinke

Some people have asked me what’s in my new book *The Art Ritual, A Pursuit.*?

It’s a little bit of everything over the last few years; a few poems, art, essays, fun and inspiration. It’s a loose collection of what I’ve been up since leaving my tenure at Bellevue College, both in thought and in action. In short, it’s 48 pages of some of what I think is interesting, if not perfect, both visual and in writing. I think it will entertain you and maybe make you think.

I loved putting it together. It is common to feel as if I’m not moving anything or making progress much like treading water. Yet, as I put this book together, I followed the footsteps of my thoughts and personal growth for three years. A lot has happened; a move to Costa Rica, a return, a son with dyslexia, motherhood, career shifts, serious injury and recovery, deaths and births, painting and writing.

It’s available for free as a digital download for the price of a confirmed e-mail address (you can unsubscribe anytime). Or you can buy the printed, signed and dedicated, version from my shop.
