Luisa’s Poetry, Prose, and Essays

The Tearing Apart by Luisa Elena Kolker

In addition to my clinical and teaching work, I am a poet, memoirist, and essayist. My writing explores the intersections of psyche, spirituality, healing, relationship, nature, and the mystery that lives underneath and behind ordinary life.

Current projects include a memoir set in Spain and Morocco, a new poetry collection, and several writing projects related to the Shamanic Psychotherapy model.

My award-winning poetry collection, The Tearing Apart, is available here.

You can also find more of my poems, essays, reflections, and works-in-progress on my Substack, Black Butterfly Diaries, where I write about psyche, spirituality, creativity, travel, nature, and the ongoing process of becoming more fully ourselves.
