Azimuth of God: Meditations on Absence & Presence

These lyric meditations marry the natural world and the spirit world, the mundane and the sublime, the scientific and the sacred, until all things, all beings, all ways of existing, become holy, touched by a God-centered gaze and attention. The poems are questions - like Job's to God - and the questions are answered, yet one cannot, beyond the experience of the work itself, say how. It is a superb architecture, crafted by a brilliant poet. It is a vehicle through which the reader's spirit can, at last, be set free, like the Sufi 's through the whirl of the dervish dance. And like that God-touched whirling, these poems engender in the reader a deep stillness, a deep silence, a deep and abiding experience of peace and of prayer.
