Abstract

Kate Adams reflects and comments on Sally Dukes’ 2026 “Drummer Girl: A Story of Life After Death” (Koelerbooks). Adams writes, “A fearless seeker, Dukes has both reached out, and accepted with grace – her many life experiences and challenges. Both the sacred and the mundane intertwine in this remarkable tale of a life lived with questing, curiosity, and courage.” The reviewer continues by exploring Sally Dukes’ early interest in C. G. Jung, D. M. Kalff, “Dukes felt, instinctively, that sandplay might be the key to unlocking the natural healing propensity of the psyche.”
