Sexing the Divine is an unusual collection of postmodern reflections, contemplative musings and poetics of the sacred, which explore the interrelationship between the erotic and the sacred, the sexual and the spiritual, the mundane and the mystical in both western and eastern religious traditions. Rasa engages poetics as a genre upon which she weaves contemporary verse and traditional haiku into a larger creative non-fiction narrative - a multi-layered tapestry of embodied, mystical spiritualities.
Her work echoes feminist theoretical literary and theological underpinnings that plumb the subterranean underworld of our embodied lives. Deborah writes passionately and evocatively of her vision for ecstatic beauty. Her work echoes a cosmological worldview that is steeped in both relationality and potentiality.
