108 Songs for the Red Goddess

108 Songs for the Red Goddess is a raw and devotional collection of poems that defy convention, offend modern sensibilities, and challenge the pillar saints' religiosity with their bold, erotic message. Andrew Sweeny’s work is part rebellion, part reverence, and a spontaneous exploration of longing, crisis, and illumination. Who is the Red Goddess? She has been worshipped for centuries under many names—exalted in hidden shrines of the East, condemned as a pagan or witch in the West. She is the tantric consort, the sky dancer, the union of emptiness and luminosity, form and formlessness.
