Amazon Prime has delivered my copy of Unseen Worlds by impeccably gifted and versatile award-winning scholar Marilène Phipps-Kettlewell. I've been hooked since.
Unseen Worlds compellingly weaves a captivating miscellany of historical, cultural, religious, and autobiographical anecdotes primarily set in Haiti. Adorned with tersely cogent, riveting, and relatable sententiae, this book lends itself to a keen sense of patrimonial belonging defined by existential challenges, vulnerabilities, resilience, and metaphysical longing of the human soul in quest of the transcendental unknown.
It's also a holistically enlightening memoire that calls us into rising above the mundane in order to meaningfully occupy our place in our family, community, and the greater world.
It competently caters to our viscerally intellectual, emotional, and spiritual thirstiness.
In a world beset by unlimited set of challenges and persistent evil, love, humanity, magnanimity, forgiveness, spirituality, and peaceful interpersonal dynamics are possible.
I recommend this literary masterpiece with reckless exuberance.

This book reveals why all of us should keep searching! Coming from a family of oral historians, storytellers and artists, this book sent me back to my childhood where storytelling is punctuated by songs and proverbs. Each chapter took me away from the noise of now to a past where lessons abounded in a meaningful, spiritual and poetic way. The Haiti Marilene describes , and her dance with its history and complexities, seem to me to be the very life we all fear to confront and embrace. The author seemed to embrace life with the curiousity, courage, respect and honesty we often wish we could associate with our lives. This is a must read for poets, artists, lovers of books and those who are still searching.

I have known Marilene for most of my life and still marvel at her extraordinary talent - with being a painter of course - but especially with her very creative use of words that have the power to turn everybody's imagination into their own paintings...not just color but also tastes and smells and touches as though you were there yourself. Some experiences are very difficult to put down on paper due to their infinite quality of being delicious open wounds. The Haiti of Ms. Phipps is that and is real and has nothing to do with the miles and miles of print spewed out by journalists and good meaning visitors. This is felt in the gut and in the heart! It's a rare beauty!
