Ramadan Sonnets / Poems
ISBN: 9781411654297 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. RAMADAN SONNETS, not always a spiritual meditation, nor often even what should be felt and achieved in the fast (the poems are striving for some reality of feeling and experience), these poems are an imaginatively inspired record of the month, its small epiphanies and grim endurances, heading out from its physical constraints to contemplate a vast panorama, or focusing in on particulars, those embryos of explosive meaning, to evoke the blessed month of Ramadan's intertwining flavors of asceticism and sensual gratitude, its palatable and palpable Light.

The Throne Perpendicular to All that is Horizontal
ISBN: 9780578140520 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. We're born in a relationship with theology. Nurtured in the womb by other than our means, born into the world at large, at very large, from our meditative seclusion, our khalwa, the Arabic for spiritual retreat (often practiced in a closet-like room just enough for a devotee to sit comfortably) we emerge into a theological world, willy-nilly. As soon as we take a breath of worldly oxygen we're in a tight relationship with the whole God-system, as believers or non-believers, until our last breath leaves us. So in the title, it's a Throne that is perpendicular, at an always angle, to all that...

A Maddening Disregard for the Passage of Time / Poems
ISBN: 9780578046778 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A MADDENING DISREGARD FOR THE PASSAGE OF TIME: While we are indeed born into time, and at death we slide out of time altogether into eternity, in whatever space we might conceive, in a supreme moment we might taste timelessness, fleeting though it may be (though that fleetingness too being still only a matter of time). But there are also those whose "disregard" of the passing of time is due to their absorption in Eternity, and The Eternal One.

Coattails of the Saint / Poems
ISBN: 9781847280565 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. COATTAILS OF THE SAINT - is a collection of poems which chase after the coattails of sanctity, in this world with its "meanings set up as images" (a Sufi definition of what we take around us as reality), and those souls living among us right now and forever who have had bestowed upon them that dimension of sanctity which sets them apart while making them at the same time true human beings. Imagination has given these poems a "saintly" thread, with no particular saint in any traditional pantheon meant, but rather that essence of simple sainthood of which we are all (God willing) capable.

Next Life / Poems
ISBN: 9780578120225 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There are among us luminous beings who maintain that what we might taste of the Garden of Paradise and what we might suffer of the Fire of Hell is right here in our present earthly and mortal existence as well. The imaginal truth of the Spiritual Path that points to the Next World after death is perhaps indisputable (however some might vigorously dispute it) but our lives, upon reflection, sometimes thrown overboard and barely making it to shore, sometimes buoyed up very high and slammed down very low and hard, are a living proof of the this-world tasting of the
Next World experience... There are among us luminous beings who maintain that what we might taste of the Garden of Paradise and what we might suffer of the Fire of Hell is rig...

Sparks Off the Main Strike / Poems
ISBN: 9780578071459 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In all the poems of a poet's work there's the impulse to get to the bottom of things, to the original energy pulse, the first cause as it manifests in the present tense, the spark off the main strike. As always, the title came to me first, and the poems followed, some faithful some astray from the theme, but always rebounding back again to resonate with that original strike, in these scattered sparks.

Cooked Oranges / Poems
ISBN: 9780615163086 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Poetic inspiration continues to be a mystery to me, but I am its deep advocate, and hold to its irrational and shady acreage like a greedy real estate developer gazing out over the possibilities (a ramshackle hut here, a barn there, a castle with a lake yonder.). Is it angels, djinn, my black cat curled at the bottom of my bed while I'm hot in composition mode? My "unconscious," "God Consciousness?" (my fervent prayer).

Holiday from the Perfect Crime / Poems
ISBN: 9780578082936 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Somehow the resonance for me during the entertaining of this title as an abiding albeit background theme for the poems, was the perfect crime of our existence: perfect because created by a perfect Creator. A crime because we get up to such malfeasance all the time, at the lower end of it, and a crime at the higher end in the sense that the Sufis often mention, that any existence of theirs before Allah ta'ala, any flake or residue of their self-ness, is a crime, a flaw, an obstruction before the Light of God. Only when you have known a saint (wali) of whatever spiritual practice do you the...

The Fire Eater's Lunchbreak / Poems
ISBN: 9780615236285 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. THE FIRE EATER'S LUNCHBREAK: What does happen when we stop swallowing the flame, whatever it might be? This world, our own drudgery, our passions, low or high, that locus of our experience we call "I" - and take a break? There's a Sufi text by Shaykh ibn 'Ata Illah whose title I've always loved: "The Giving Up of the Management of Your Affairs." Neat trick But somehow that's also the key to the present title, and God willing to something of the poems this book contains. Poem: His High Command/and an ant's vibrating antenna//The horrors of war/and a newborn's uncurling fingers//Flash...

ISBN: 9780615135700 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This high adventure, in loosely metered heroic couplets, follows Abdallah Jones on his quest to capture the ball of disappearing-dust from the mad Sorcerer and stop the destruction of the world. He has been given the task by his Sufi shaykh, which takes him to the Sorcerer's castle, where he meets Marbug the elf, Neptune, the King of the Jinn, and a collection of sweet and evilly dangerous characters along the way with more cliff-hangers and near-deaths than anyone but Abdallah should have to endure - and finally to Madina, the city of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of God be upon...

Underwater Galaxies / Poems

UNDERWATER GALAXIES is a book of poems in the floating genres of open inspiration and Rumiesque narrative, taking a journey to Morocco, visiting Marrakech, being visited by William Blake in vision. golden bees, yellow roses. the long and winding road from the divine affirmation of our birth to the double affirmation of death and its afterlife, all its twists and turns made sweeter by serious (and often humorous) imaginal utterance.

Stories Too Fiery to Sing Too Watery to Whisper
ISBN: 9780578150086 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The pleasure of feeling the poem discovering itself is always a particular joy in reading this poet -- especially so because the voyage of discovery each poem seems to make is, finally, a journey toward the light - whether inside or outside, grand and glorious or fine and concentrated and elusive and just or almost entirely out of reach... yet somehow still in there or out there somewhere, waiting to be found. (From the Preface, by Tom Clark) These are kinds of Sufi narrative poems, but not stories exactly and more like ecstatic perceptions and surreal notions leading (God willing) to Light.

The luster of a glisten is/ enough to elicit bliss// The gleam from a beam/ enough to confound the intellect// The crack of a rock in a creek/ can take us back to where// we lost track// The whiff of a sniff can lift/ even the most morose heart// from the hotbed of heartbreak// All these phenomena/ splinter and splatter in// this world to focus from the/ unseen world onto this one// some hint of the high rainbowing/ laughter to come...

Millennial Prognostications / Poems
ISBN: 9780578007731 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. MILLENNIAL PROGNOSTICATIONS: This is not a book of poetic futuristics, oracle-like I-Ching countings or consciousness Tarot readings, nothing so formal nor formulated. Perhaps its "prognostication" aspect is in trying to be open-hearted and sense-aware of images and their meanings, or meanings and their images, as they occur in the world both most immediate to us and by extension universal and even cosmic, detail by detail, focusing on what Blake called "minute particulars." It's a kind of lengthy prayer with sidebars, digressions and returns, hopefully each time more earnestly to the Source...

Shaking the Quicksilver Pool / Poems
ISBN: 9780578016900 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. SHAKING THE QUICKSILVER POOL: Poems that point to Infinite Beauty (The Book of Infinite Beauty being the too ambitious previous title of this collection), which is only Allah, al-Jamal, Who created everything out of love in a balance of Beauty and Majesty, two attributes sometimes clearly manifest, sometimes at odds with each other, as seen by our clouded human perceptions. But behind every event and every creation, is that Infinite One, and the quicksilver pool is our total existence here, which, to focus more intensely, we might give a shake (our selves), to see God's Face in the things we...

Laughing Buddha Weeping Sufi / Poems
ISBN: 9781411647633 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps."(William Blake) A cooly impassioned, and "pathward" adventurous series of poems joining two modes of enlightenment, Buddhist and Sufi, that may in many ways be parallel-from my sitting with saintly Shunryu Suzuki of the San Francisco Zen Center in the early 60s, and my blessed time with Qutb Shaykh ibn al-Habib of Fez in Meknes, Morocco, in the 1970s, may Allah be pleased with both of them. Are the two protagonists of these poems the main characters in Waiting for Godot, now no longer waiting, but there? Exalted humor lightens our spiritual...
