Overview

Ultraviolet: Meditations on Healing & Transformation is a deeply introspective poetry collection that invites readers on a journey of spiritual healing and self-discovery. Written with simplicity and grace, these poems offer a tender exploration of finding strength and peace in the wake of experiencing a life-changing illness. In ""Awakening,"" author Maya Sarin Erinippurath writes: ""In the darkness, a door opened and I stepped into the light. I began to see everything becoming, everything simply as it is. A new identity emerges like I'm wearing new skin; my heart swells and I am weightless, a feather floating free."" Ultraviolet unfolds in three sections-""The Undoing,"" ""The Reckoning,"" and ""The Awakening""-in which the speaker, after learning of her diagnosis, deepens her inward​ attention and begins her healing journey. Each poem creates a space for quiet reflection, inviting readers to pause, breathe, and ​e​mbrace the present moment. The collection ​is a meditation on surrender and an invitation to explore one's own path toward healing, guiding readers to embrace vulnerability, reconnect within, and engage more deeply with the world around them. Rooted in the natural world and the quiet rhythms of spiritual growth, the poems draw on imagery of purple hues, birdsong, and water as sources of solace and possibili​ty. Together, they offer a gentle call to slow down, ​offering comfort to those seeking calm, renewal, and a sense of peace.

""With language that is shimmering with light, Maya brings us into the journey of finding home within the body even when the body is in illness."" - Abigail Rose Clarke, Author of Returning Home to Our Bodies and The Body Oracle Deck ""A delightful debut from Maya, this collection of poetry is truly enchanting. Her talent shines through in rich and lyrical diction, beautiful imagery, and her vivid love of nature. An uplifting read, and one that will grace any bookshelf."" - Jo Sexton, Author of Small Stories and Ghosts ""Ultraviolet paints a picture of how it feels to come apart and put yourself back together again. What makes it unique, though, is how it resists the urge to simplify healing. Instead, it sits in the discomfort and uses that unease to trace the slow, often invisible work of becoming. These poems lean into transformation without forcing it, and that restraint is what makes the journey truly powerful."" - Michelle Awad, Author of Sudden Seances ""This is a beautiful, searching book. Ultraviolet unfolds in small, vivid pieces, like stepping stones across a river. Maya writes from inside illness and healing with a kind of quiet clarity, noticing everything the way you do when the world has been stripped back to its essentials. There are roots, birds, light shifting through trees. The body becomes landscape. Fear moves like weather. And slowly, something steadier begins to take hold. Nothing is rushed. The transformation happens the way it does in nature. Gradually, unevenly, and then all at once. What stayed with me is the sense of trust running through it. Trust in the body. Trust in the unseen. Trust that even after everything falls apart, something alive is still growing underneath. A thoughtful, comforting book for anyone finding their way back to themselves."" - Johanna Wright, Author, illustrator, and creator of the Creative Consciousness Healing Oracle Deck ""Ultraviolet is a powerful journey through sickness, healing, and everything in between. Through powerful imagery and vulnerable first-person accounts, Maya creates a vivid picture of life in the midst of an illness, while also guiding readers through meditations and reflections that inspire. This collection utilizes nature, wildlife, and unfiltered honesty to encourage a deeper look within, an exploration of the Sacred, and a curiosity to uncover what more we are capable of becoming."" - Leisly Ann Roman, Author of Living in Phases and All That a Season Can Carry (in Me) ""In this collection, Maya brings us with her into her meditations. She welcomes us into our own journey of transformation alongside her own, as in the lines, 'A tiny pink prism of beauty, a fleeting beacon of hope and faith refracting its light upon me'. We, the readers, become washed by the healing light of her poetry."" - Jennifer Gellock, PhD, Author of Half of Me: An Inward Journey Back Home to Wholeness
