Seraphim's Touch: Poems for Self-Growth: Spiritual Highs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798370448393)

This is one of the most unique books of poetry ever written. Now, that's a bold statement! Just the fact that this exceptional, modern poet embraces the classical forms of poetry such as sonnets, villanelle, metered verse and blank verse, in addition to free verse, would be unique enough. But the exquisite and transcendent spirituality expressed in this inspiring collection of poems truly places it in a class of its own. And, often, beneath the veneer of already exalted verse, lie deep profundities about the spiritual nature of this physical life which the author of this collection so intriguingly expresses.
As inspiring and beautiful as these poems are, they oblige the reader to reflect upon these deeper hidden meanings so subtly expressed. Yes, the poet expresses himself based on his own particular religious and spiritual background, but the author provides a glossary and footnotes to explain many of the references that would otherwise be missed or not understood by the uninformed. And, as one very brilliant and ecumenical doctor remarked, when presented with the book, "I will be Jewish for a while as I read this!" Or, as another, Christian reader, enthralled over what the meaning of "Seraphim" was, commented after perusing its contents, "Congratulations on a great book." The truth is the desire for closeness to the Divine, the need to be lifted above our mundane, physical lives are universal, and this lofty poetry inspires both.
If you desire truly elevating and inspiring verse, devoid of the angst and negativity of so much of modern poetry, if you desire to learn how the Divine manifests in nature, if you wish to be transported to a higher sphere, then you should read this collection.
