Many of us struggle against the harms of childhood. I’ve realized that struggling against them only keeps them active in our experience. If we focused on abuse, that’s what we create. If we focus on lack, that’s what we experience. If we focus on not being able to free ourselves—well, being “imprisoned” by the past is what we also create. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1646663032756-IXQ36J9LJQX0LPNMD9QD/unsplash-image-QQvIGIrVhHo.jpg Blog - Crucible - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1614981432027-KSJKVK2A1LSO0WWX839O/Screen%252BShot%252B2021-02-16%252Bat%252B2.14.30%252BPM.jpg Blog - Crucible - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1646663576409-3GGPP7YGV1XU1XQFD0L8/unsplash-image--pP8Yy3ARaU.jpg Blog - Crucible - Make it stand out We glimpse it sometimes in the mist. https://www.virginiaslachman.com/blog/the-long-way-home monthly 0.5 2022-03-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/c3ede3a1-6255-4d5e-b26c-2fe5fa881f03/IMG_5188.png Blog - The Long Way Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1645880633325-MVLZ3P9M7HFQ4O2HO56O/unsplash-image-fPXnlokCGkw.jpg Blog - The Long Way Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/c4b7d43a-1660-4c04-be96-3aa2e63015d0/Death.jpg Blog - The Long Way Home - The Death Card Recently, I’d done a Tarot card pull, and this was one of the three cards that showed up. Terrifying? No, actually I was ridiculously happy to see it. So often in our experience, things seem to fall horribly apart, but it’s merely a prelude to a new step forward. If we let it be that. If we let the old pass away, and patiently await the next step. Our progress is never simple or linear. It’s a spiral, but upleveling only happens if we’re willing to endure the death of the old. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/f3875fc2-9557-4763-af88-76c46c705f19/Grass+in+snow.jpg Blog - The Long Way Home I trudged up the hill with a bag slung over my shoulder. I’d been there before to collect kindling and well, I needed to be by myself in the woods. I turned right and headed up the path, past an old pavilion to where I knew a big tree had been felled and there was a lot of small, dry branches just off the trail. I collected the twigs, snapping the bigger ones, my mind going on and on. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1645882684169-NY2GTT0PKMWHI7Y4ABQO/unsplash-image-4NcX8KrNxIQ.jpg Blog - The Long Way Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/398ce0b1-e52a-4980-9deb-3c9f13cd8265/IMG_5223.png Blog - The Long Way Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1645882717114-O668BJQARWRIO95R1PZY/unsplash-image-uBGfnZONj4g.jpg Blog - The Long Way Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1645882809656-WH4X6F4H987AHKPN67XN/unsplash-image-lP1ae2AVST4.jpg Blog - The Long Way Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1645883312446-1UHM3E47EA90VXGBM5HJ/unsplash-image-ucdh5HMkRMg.jpg Blog - The Long Way Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.virginiaslachman.com/blog/into-the-darkness monthly 0.5 2022-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/898de2d7-c96b-45ba-94a0-c438a9cb3a3f/Dorian--Ed+Miller+photo+credit.jpg Blog - Into the Darkness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1642988055954-COU15LYZY95FU913RPOP/unsplash-image-QrJc1RVI7uM.jpg Blog - Into the Darkness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1643048928768-XUQ7SHPEE0LMY2CSA2YY/unsplash-image-38_XHFO6ycI.jpg Blog - Into the Darkness - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/aecb41ec-cc7e-489c-8e7c-0978f2045dde/*under+the+tree2391.jpg Blog - Into the Darkness But teeth floating? He’s been called “dangerous,” by an equine dentist. As a racehorse, he’d had a lot of “stuff” go on in that area—twitching (perhaps), chifney bits (which can be very harsh), scoping, and who knows what else . . . . The only person I’ve found who can work on his teeth has to give him a lot of drugs and I have to hold his head up, literally. And he still thrashes his head around! It takes over 3 hours for him to come out of the tranquilizers (and that’s with me walking him to more rapidly metabolize them). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1643050478633-KQUD4MLJ8PZNOS0AZBKA/unsplash-image-oMpAz-DN-9I.jpg Blog - Into the Darkness It was an incredible lesson for me. Very freeing. We don’t have to turn away from those dark places in ourselves, or the dark experiences we’ve had.

Or so she thought. Fleeing the flashy, high dollar world of Kentucky horse racing for NYC, she'd been content living the life of a successful painter. But escape isn't an option after the accidental death of her sister sends her back to the Bluegrass, a horse racing world filled with hope and heartbreak. As the body count rises as Eden Hill, Harper becomes convinced her sister's death was no accident. Probing more deeply, Harper realizes Paris' death is tied to a dark and deadly secret, one she discovers is why her racehorses are dying. Solving her sister's murder and saving her family's stud farm will take every ounce of Harper's wit and courage. When seven skeletons are discovered on the grounds, and the barn with her best Kentucky Derby prospects is set on fire, Harper bears down to find the killer. The problem is, the culprit could be anyone: Is it JD, her childhood sweetheart, Marshall, their long-time trainer, or is it their nasty neighbor Red Cole, in partnership with her family for generations? Someone is on a killing spree, and though Harper doesn't know why, she is sure of one thing--the murderer is someone she's known and trusted her whole life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603735627185-IDKBV1XV45MISI47XA32/The+Lost+Ode+Front+Cover.jpg Books - The Lost Ode Amazing read. Quite the page turner. While a great murder mystery, The Lost Ode, is also steeped in landmarks and culture of the area as well as an in depth knowledge of the thoroughbred horse industry. Literary scholar and amateur sleuth, Julia, has stumbled on a family secret . . . a secret steeped in the history of Kentucky’s thoroughbred country and linked to the descendants of poet John Keats and his brother George. When the owner of Brookfield Stud, Gray Burke, is arrested for homicide, Julia is left to solve the murder and prove his innocence while following the trail to the Keats’s lost fortune. Solving the murder may lead to love and treasure, but has Julia back the wrong horse in believing Gray Burke’s innocence? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603735792177-B4JCXJ8ULC15GHT8PNVL/Many+Brave+Hearts+Cover.jpg Books - Many Brave Hearts: A Memoir “Many Brave Hearts is an unblinking, eloquent, deeply felt account of how war can shatter emotional lives and undermine our deepest bonds. Virginia Slachman has documented for us the story, not only of her family and its slow disintegration over the years, but a narrative powerfully representative of a collective American experience. In highly accomplished, skillful prose the book offers readers a fascinating double-narrative that enhances and illuminates both. Father and daughter speak not so much to each other as to their common experience and grief. It is a beautiful and devastating testament and it is redeemed, in the only way possible, with ultimate understanding and love.” Kurt Brown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736365195-TY3QB6H2W6BEQ4H77F0H/World+of+Mortal+LIght+cover.jpg Books - World of Mortal Light In his “Ars Poetica,” Czeslaw Milosz aspires to “a more spacious form . . . free from the claims of poetry or prose.” This is the liberated, indeterminate space Virginia Slachman’s words inhabit in this uncommon book of humble devotions and enchantments fringed with dread. Situated somewhere at the edge of the here-world and the there-world, the poet notes “many darknesses are separating themselves” as she registers and grapples with the various signs of light. Slachman creates an atmosphere of irreality populated with real-world things, where cool detachment betrays ancient ache, lyricism mates with philosophy, and the future is unsteady as memory. What we can count on in this ultimately edifying journey is Slachman’s tough humanity, and her naming for us of those hard-to-reach places, where we might have stumbled trying to return on our own. Yahia Lababidi, "The Artist as Mystic" In her new book, World of Mortal Light, Virginia Slachman suggests that the art of poetry is “a thing made of paint and mind.” Indeed, in long, musical lines she vividly paints the “real world,” which is, she tells us, “a world of concept, still.” We find in “The Origin of the Work of Art,” for example, Heidegger, Van Gogh, and the poet’s dog Lily, a “little brown being in the dirt.” Slachman moves with remarkable skill from one to another—philosopher, artist, animal—in a richly textured poetry that invites us, also, to contemplate “how the world worlds.” Allison Funk https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736264249-04J09DNSF8OG35BRIKE2/Heidegger%27s+Temple.jpg Books - Heidegger’s Temple “Heidegger’s Temple offers layers of metaphor, exquisitely composed, that beckon us to ponder new ideas and complex states of feeling as sensuous discoveries, freshly illumined philosophic landscapes where order doesn’t depend on the centrality of the human. Slachman is not content with art as allusion merely; instead she imaginatively inhabits a given sensibility, making that way of seeing palpable. The artist most deeply alive in this collection is Rainer Maria Rilke; his tragic sense of death as life’s most basic process fits well with Slachman’s edgier voice and her vigilant resistance to unearned harmonies.” Beth Ash https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736137744-GHSLFYJ0R020WOG6ZYW9/Inside+Such+Darkness.jpg Books - Inside Such Darkness: Poems “Whether praising the world, or peering into the darkness that is always on the verge of engulfing it, Virginia Slachman won't give up her relentless search for meaning, beauty, wholeness. Anything might, at any moment, become a vehicle for this vision of the world as sacred and complete--sycamore branches, a man dragging a cross up Hollywood Blvd., a garbage truck unloading dumpsters....” Kurt Brown https://www.virginiaslachman.com/home daily 1.0 2026-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736524000-DJMJH4I5YWG5GOR3V16S/Front+Cover.jpg Home Fiction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736527173-3BXLENR0UH1T6EQF1QPX/The+Lost+Ode+Front+Cover.jpg Home Fiction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736522898-IM5YFRX2O32LMI4CQBWX/Many+Brave+Hearts+Cover.jpg Home Nonfiction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736522944-MTKZ1GNZ3UCAQMKSPU1T/World+of+Mortal+LIght+cover.jpg Home Poetry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736523004-Z6FU1ZZ9YR91RHLN79GZ/Heidegger%27s+Temple.jpg Home Poetry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1603736522891-XUT38K46BAY1XMU04WP7/Inside+Such+Darkness.jpg Home Poetry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1608131801973-PFI3VRVV4YY71UXZLJSA/Dorian%2Band%2Bme%2Bfor%2Bwebsite.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/40384e9c-52c1-4f84-aa9e-5c42d7d4e289/USE--Blackmail+just+the+cover.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/78c79901-ced2-4604-8487-4aa5a6ea0ca7/Beast+JPG.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/2fd8df8e-f58f-40e5-8ad3-e3d497dc6762/Betrayed+for+Ads.jpeg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1613847886400-N4PXQAYU8A5TEPHAGFP7/Screen+Shot+2021-02-20+at+1.04.03+PM.png Home - Available Now on Amazon & Kindle You’ll find it hard to turn off your reading light at 2:00 am.” Anne Hess https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1613510645941-XS7ZCQ7BGN8LYKPPL49B/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-02-16%2Bat%2B2.34.19%2BPM.jpg Home - Our Journey https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1613510610875-P0MVK39XUFNQVIITW3MQ/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-02-16%2Bat%2B2.00.51%2BPM.jpg Home - D & Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1613510670899-6JK8CJ4U0H2UZYWIOUYG/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-02-16%2Bat%2B3.03.51%2BPM.jpg Home - Beasts with Burdens https://www.virginiaslachman.com/freelance daily 0.75 2020-10-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847832239-MGLFDHBOLCWD12K3AI7C/image-asset.jpeg Freelance - “Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.” — Quote Source https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847831074-9Y887UX75RZ6L80BRDJK/image-asset.jpeg Freelance - “Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.” — Quote Source https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847832627-GDFX0BZSL0H0GM7L0XE8/image-asset.jpeg Freelance - “Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.” — Quote Source https://www.virginiaslachman.com/contact daily 0.75 2020-10-09 https://www.virginiaslachman.com/poetry daily 0.75 2021-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1605030390522-XJAXO2J4S38847R7MEMD/Heidegger%27s+Temple.jpg Poetry Heidegger's Temple https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1605030390470-QCVB2SOX5C6NQW2P446J/Inside+Such+Darkness.jpg Poetry Inside Such Darkness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1612715933424-W6Z9D2ADED42GNR3QRUB/World+of+Mortal+LIght+cover.jpg Poetry World of Mortal Light https://www.virginiaslachman.com/press daily 0.75 2024-10-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/c092dea6-3bac-4789-a4f7-0840caba1b88/Shepard.jpg Other Publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/a75fa08c-a3c4-4673-8d20-62edb5845000/Betrayed+for+Ads.jpeg Other Publications - Click here for more! “Loved reading this from page one to the last.

Or so she thought. Fleeing the flashy, high dollar world of Kentucky horse racing for NYC, she’d been content living the life of a successful painter. But escape isn’t an option after the accidental death of her sister sends her back to the Bluegrass, a horse racing world filled with hope and heartbreak. As the body count rises at Eden Hill, Harper becomes convinced her sister’s death was no accident. Probing more deeply, Harper realizes Paris’ death is tied to a dark and deadly secret, one she discovers is why her racehorses are dying. Solving her sister’s murder and saving her family’s stud farm will take every ounce of Harper’s wit and courage. When seven skeletons are discovered on the grounds, and the barn with her best Kentucky Derby prospects is set on fire, Harper bears down to find the killer. The problem is, the culprit could be anyone: Is it JD, her childhood sweetheart, Marshall, their long-time trainer, or is it their nasty neighbor Red Cole, in partnership with her family for generations? Someone is on a killing spree, and though Harper doesn’t know why, she is sure of one thing—the murderer is someone she’s known and trusted her whole life. https://www.virginiaslachman.com/the-lost-ode daily 0.75 2021-01-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f6b84de2b5c4230370a55fb/1606851137860-OVMVHMY08NUITRCV06B5/Front+Cover.jpg The Lost Ode - Harper had put the past behind her...
