Huang Po and the Dimensions of Love

Wally Swist

Publication Year: 2012

<DIV><P>In Huang Po and the Dimensions of Love, poet Wally Swist blends themes of love and epiphany to lead readers into a more conscious interaction with the world around them. These ethereal poems call upon a spirituality unfettered to any specific religion, yet universal and potent in its scope, offering a window through which life can be not only viewed but also truly experienced.</P> <P>This luminescent collection illustrates the joys to be found in the everyday world and the power of existence. Unveiled here are the twin edges of love and madness; the quiet mysteries and revelations of a New England night or the glittering spark of snowdrops; the sharp scents of sugar maple and cinnamon; and the rustle of a junco&rsquo;s wings. From the restoration and peace of silence or the rush of a brook, to spiraling hawks and Botticelli&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Annunciation,&rdquo; Swist&rsquo;s poems linger somewhere between the earthbound and the sublime.</P></DIV>
