Strand removed the tape, and She began to speak of a coming age of chaos and collapse in which the world of humankind would be severely chastened so that Her world--the world of Nature--could be renewed. Overwhelmed by the presence of One so fully Other, Strand found that love was the only language that would suffice. Drawing inspiration from \u003ca\u003eSong of Songs\u003c\/a\u003e and the Bengali mystics Ramprasad and Sri Ramakrishna, he began a series of poems to Ma Kali, the Dark Goddess of India, the words to which often came from the Great Mother Herself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53671860732177,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781948626743.jpg?v=1781517545","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-now-is-the-hour-of-her-return-by-clark-strand","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
