Book Interview: Kaci Skiles Laws on 'Summer Storms'
Kaci Skiles Laws wrote her first haiku in third grade about a giraffe. Years later, she wrote her first accomplished poem about her barn cat, Tinkerbell, who later died after getting attacked by her brother’s Jack Russell. The day her mom came to tell her the news she already knew. At the time, she didn’t understand she had the gift of clair cognizance, sometimes referred to as a sixth sense. As a little girl she was perceptive and sensitive in ways her mom respected as true insight, while other, insensitive people didn’t believe her or called her dramatic.
Today, she channels her ability to see and feel things too deeply into her creativity. As an introvert, she finds great peace residing in her mind after it’s been quieted through meditation or channelled into her writing and other various art forms. As a writer, she understands the importance of purging and re-examining the things she wishes to reconcile within her unconscious mind. Most of her poems and essays and short stories come from a place that still needs healing. In writing, she applies the remedy and trims away the rot that must be cut out. She knows of things long forgotten and where to find them in her present life, how to invite them in for tea, and tuck them into their deaths.
