Simply Go*d, Volume 1
Susan KirschHow do you say Go*d?
Is it God... or is it Good?
That question sits at the heart of Simply Go*d, a contemplative collection of praise poems that invites readers to experience the sacred not as an abstract idea, but as a living presence woven into daily life.
Originally published in 2011 and now thoughtfully republished, Simply Go*d, Volume 1 offers gentle, accessible poetry rooted in mindfulness, spiritual reflection, and embodied practice. These poems arise from the author's daily morning ritual-combining movement, meditation, visual art, and writing-and are offered as an invitation rather than instruction.
This new edition includes full-color reproductions of Susan Kirsch's original artwork, replacing the black-and-white images in the original edition. Many poems are paired with visual expression, creating a rich, multisensory experience that encourages reflection, creativity, and presence. All future volumes in the Simply Go*d series will also feature color artwork.
The poems themselves explore themes of gratitude, grace, doubt, joy, activism, embodiment, and compassion-meeting readers wherever they are, without dogma or doctrine. Whether opened at random or read slowly, one poem at a time, this book is meant to be returned to again and again.
"Herein is a treasure: an invitation to be inspired, to breathe in knowledge, and to experience the Divine in daily life."
- Tracy Gary, Founder, Inspired Philanthropy
This book is for readers who are drawn to:
- Spiritual reflection without religious constraints
- Mindfulness and contemplative practice
- Poetry that is grounded, accessible, and emotionally resonant
- Creative expression as a spiritual path
- Exploring the sacred as Go*d lived and embodied
