The Shift

Poetry for a New Perspective

By: Melody Godfred

Narrated by: Melody Godfred

Each pair of poems inspires a shift from the old way of thinking to the new: from guilt to gratitude, resistance to surrender, and fear to love. The first poem in each pair is dedicated to the old way. The second poem offers a shift in perspective that lovingly illuminates the new. Each seemingly simple poem instantly elicits a profound reset, and is coupled with beautiful line drawings that awaken not just the mind, but also the heart. The Shift’s unique poem pairings uplift the soul by offering a hopeful salve for our collective burnout.

Whether you listen to a pair of poems a day, or listen to the entire book in one sitting, The Shift will be your trusted companion as you bravely navigate the great unknown that lies ahead in the months, years and decades to come.

Personable piece and performance

I have to admit that at first I was ready to rate this a two and not finish it despite its brevity. I was confused and annoyed when the pieces were read twice and then a third time, but in the end, I found myself appreciating this element. I first heard the pieces, then I related to them, and then I understood them. Within that last read and explanation, I found understanding, which led to a sense of connection to this book and the author, and I was left wanting more! I also loved the PDF provided.
Hope to read/listen to more from this amazing, immigrant, women author whom I now aspire to be like! Please consider this book and Melody Godfred as a whole.
