Two books of poetry by Chrissa Ventrelle: What Nature Knows: poems and meditations (hardcover, 2021) AND May It Be: Growing a Genuine Life (paperback, 2017).

What Nature Knows is collection of poems and meditations. Braiding the wild, the spiritual, and the human into poems and meditations, Chrissa Ventrelle focuses on the soothing wisdom of nature and the gift of togetherness in her second collection, What Nature Knows: Poems & Meditations.

“This book is quite simply nourishment of the best kind.” — Cynthia Leslie-Bole, Author of The Luminous In-Between

May It Be: Growing a Genuine Life is a collection of short offerings on creating a growing and giving life, while celebrating along the way.

This book makes a thoughtful gift for anyone in a time of change or growth -- perfect for graduations, religious ceremonies, housewarming, mother's day, father's day, weddings, or the start of a new job.

Chrissa’s hope is that everyone will find encouraging words in the book that resonate with where they are now, or where they hope to be.

“The thoughtful, soul-filled words of May It Be will change you, not to someone else, but to the person you were called to be in the first place.” —Rachel George, Adjunct Professor, University of Notre Dame

“Chrissa Ventrelle’s May It Be settles into the heart, leaving the calmness of having received deep compassion, wisdom, and hope. This collection is like a beacon illuminating the many ways to create a life of integrity, balance, joy, and meaning, and as such, it makes the perfect gift.” —Cynthia Leslie-Bole, author of The Luminous In Between
