The life of the spiritually awake is dynamic.
One day you are a prodigal son in a night club cooing to a cocktail waitress, “how ya doin?” and then as if transported magically, you have sailed the seven seas, past the holy city of Byzantium and its golden boughs and lords and ladies and then you behold the light and the old man - beast finally slouches towards Bethlehem to die and be born again in holy fire. Written in six parts, this poetry collection (including some less risqué poems from the author's first book) includes:
​
-
Book 1: Sonnets.
-
Book 2: Manjeri.
-
Book 3: Live at the Sine Qua Non Gallery.
-
Book 4: Ode to revolution.
-
Book 5: The Negro spirituals sing.
-
Book 6: Who killed cock robin.
