Awakening and Visitation
Angebote / Angebote:
This remarkable collection is the clearest manifestation yet of the spiritual posture that has influenced Wally Swist's work for decades. Both visionary and mystical, the book centers around a sonnet sequence regarding a shared awakening with his partner and their consequent experience with angelic visitation. There are also individual poems, such as "Angels" and "Inner Prayer, " that offer examples of the meditative quality of the work and from which his political poems provide a taut counterpoint, providing a tensile strength and balance to the book as a whole. Swist's adaptation of Li Chu's Wen Fu, or The Art of Writing, which is permanently archived on the Buddhist Poetry Review's website, and the co-translation of "The Postcards of Aneyakoji Street" are projects that took some years to complete and are laudable additions to the recent work included in this collection. Overall, this is a book of lyrical poetry that reveals a maturation of discipline and vision through the matrix of active spirituality and aesthetic practice.
