I am thrilled to officially announce the launch of my debut multimedia venture, Shadow’s Reprieve: A Jungian Poetry Podcast! 🎙️
As an indie author, my creative writing is heavily rooted in analytical psychology and Carl Jung’s process of individuation—the ongoing journey of integrating the hidden, subconscious elements of our psyche to reach true wholeness.
My debut chapbook, Shadow’s Reprieve, is divided into three thematic movements that mirror this trek: The Persona, The Shadow, and The Self.
In my debut episode, I share a personal reflection on the masks we wear to navigate society by reading my poem, "Alibied by Ink." This piece offers an intimate exploration of how writing serves as an innocent sanctuary when spoken communication feels heavy or restricted by fear.
🎧 Listen to Episode 1
You can stream the debut audio track directly right now on my new Shadow's Reprieve Substack Publication. Be sure to subscribe for free so you never miss my weekly updates!
📚 Price Adjustment
To celebrate my launch and make the journey accessible to new readers, the digital ebook version of the chapbook is now officially available for $3.99. Originally, I priced my book at $5.99, but after heavy-duty reflection, I realized this price was likely too high for an Indie author just starting out on her publishing journey.
Secure your copy across Amazon, Apple Books, and all major storefronts using the universal Books2Read Bookstore Hub.
Next week, we will continue moving forward with poem number two from The Persona series. Thank you for stepping into the deeper layers of the inner world with me!
-With love, Marilyn Glover

From Editor's Pick to Debut Collection: The story of a Poem

-

 This may sound odd, but things left unsaid do not simply vanish. Unspoken words live in longing within the subconscious, searching for a landline.  Inspired by Carl Jung's theories about synchronicity and the collective unconscious, I share today a poem that bridges the gap between the ego and the unspoken. This poem is a dial tone to the past, articulating words left unsaid, ones muffled by time. It was honored as an editor's pick on Vocal Media in 2025, and it serves as the motivation for my upcoming late-Spring Chapbook and end-of-year Poetry Collection Debut.  This being said, my poem, Longing Landline , will be a cornerstone of my work. Original artwork for 'Longing Landline,' featured as a Top Story on Vocal Media. I needn't tell him my thoughts; he already knows despite unsent letters despite unheard conversations despite published poetry, pulsed prolific prose he feels the love I have inside genuine, unselfish, pure energy radiating in cosmic waves surpas...

How a Work Related Accident Enhanced My Literary Ambitions

I had many rooms to inspect, which wasn't extraordinary, just part of my job. While rushing up a flight of stairs, my foot landed wrong, resulting in instant knee pain, and within days, I  realized I'd be out of work for a while. I was forced to resign my position due to a medial meniscus tear. Months went by waiting for surgery, navigating unemployment, workers' comp, and much discomfort, but during it all, my literary ambitions returned. That certain twinkle returned to my writer's eye, and I realized that the dream was still alive. Yes, the dream despite being in my early fifties!   It was just as alive as it was before, when my splenectomy took me out of the workforce during Covid. Dare I say, the dream felt more pronounced because, as much as recurring unemployment irritated me, it was yet another opportunity for...
