Book Review 1: "Alaloul's words take you through the ebbs and flows, the highs and the lows of coming to awareness, reclaiming one's agency, and seeing the truth of one's own self worth. Her poems invite readers to look back at the pitfalls we face in the wilderness of love, see the way forward, and rise above into a higher self. This collection is a valuable companion to anyone on the journey to healing." -- Christopher Ferreiras, Author of The Sun Underground and All The Colors in between Book Review 2: "Nadine' poetry is emotional and packs a punch, telling stories of her life experience with love, heartache, life, death, and in general, the dualistic nature of life. This collection of poems tells a story of healing and showcases the underbelly of a well-lived life. I enjoyed it thoroughly and hope you will too!" -- Bela Divine, Author of Trust Fall Journal and a Year of Spiritual Awakening Book Review 3: "In Pain to Poetry, Nadine Alaloul wears her heart on her sleeve, guiding us through her deepest and most authentic emotions. Reflecting a chapter in her life where pain was the greatest teacher, her poems capture the rhythm of existence and the profound power in vulnerability." -- Dhayana Alejandrina, Author of Agridulce: Poetry and Prose

Book Description
Yip Chi Chuan, a young martial and spiritual ascetic, must flee as the only home he has ever known, the ancient monastery of the Priests of K'un Lun, is destroyed by a newly ascendant extradimensional evil. Cast out and alone, Yip strikes out on a quest spanning the breadth of his home world of Ea'ae and into the greater macroverse beyond in an attempt to unseat an all-consuming Darkness rooted in his once vaunted order's distant past. Will Yip, the last of his kind to walk the wide world beyond his fallen sanctuary, succeed where his mighty brethren failed in ages past? Unfortunately for Yip, the answer appears all too clear... Without the guidance and teachings of his lineage, pursued by malevolent supernatural agents of the Cabal, unable to fully defend himself in a world steeped in magic, his quest may fail before it ever begins. Unfazed by his limitations, guided by his inner vision and direct experience of the energies of life, the radiant chi suffusing and enlivening the world all around, he is determined to triumph where others have faltered. To win forward, he will need help...but first he must survive. A blend of Western fantasy and Eastern martial arts and mysticism, the Chronicles of the Fists is an epic trilogy recounting Yip's adventures against all odds.
