Crossing Over" is a wonderful new collection of poems from William Meredith (former US poet Laureate) with French translation of all poems by Marc Albert and interspersed with beautifully serigraphs specially created for select poems by Sooky Manquiant. Richard Harteis, president of the William Meredith Foundation, said of this book in his introduction that the "One important goal in publishing this book was to continue his legacy for a larger world audience. While occasional poems of William's have been translated and published in French (among other languages, ) CROSSING OVER now provides a healthy selection of his poetry enhanced so beautifully by his friends Sooky and Marc. As the title suggests, William's poetry may now cross over into a language that has been called the language of diplomacy, the language of love to reach an entirely new audience. But sadly, it alludes to the fact that he has crossed over himself into the mysterious dimension of death. And it was only several weeks ago too that Sooky's mortal presence left us. Each of them has crossed over into history now, but their spirits remain alive in this work, a fact we can celebrate.
