Clarissa P. Estés Book order (chronological)

An American poet, psychoanalyst, and post-trauma specialist, this author was raised amidst nearly vanished oral and ethnic traditions. Her writing draws deeply from her family's immigrant and refugee backgrounds, a heritage shaped by farmers, artisans, and horsemen from the Old Countries. Her work explores themes of cultural identity, survival, and the enduring echoes of the past, rendered with a distinctive poetic voice.
