Praise for Soular Energy
“I have wondered how Doc Shay, as an emergency room physician who has been with people in their darkest hours, manages to stay so joyful and full of hope. These poems contain the key. Like her, they are disarming in their honesty, steadfast in their truth, brace and fierce and kind. They serve as a powerful reminder that the best of the human spirit can survive and thrive even after heartbreak and loss.”
-Lee Cataluna / Playwright and columnist for the Honolulu Advertiser
“Dr. Shay Bintliff is a revered teacher, a treasure of Hawaii. In Soular Energy we hear from a poet, mother, pediatrician, surfer, E.R. pit doc, paddler, lover, friend to all she’s met. Her sensibilities were forged in wonder of the Islands, in the devotions of a care giver and in profound sorrow after great loss. These extraordinary poems enrich and inspire all who wade into their verbal surf. Like the ocean, they can be sunny and beautiful; but at times dark and deep. As a physician, I have used some of these poems to enable patients to understand and deal with loss. They are eloquent, direct, heart-felt, and powerfully therapeutic. Soular Energy is the essence of a valued mentor.”
