Highlights
Many will know the magic of these poems; those who do not will find themselves captured by something that is at once high art, and a part of themselves – something that stirs the imagination, yet seems to come from within. It is a valuing of all that is most precious in existence: of love, of feeling, of imagination in its highest form, which is an awareness of the sacred. It celebrates the ordinary because that is what we have, it celebrates the exotic because that which is different, strange, brings out in us our own creativity. It is a poetry for those who love life, who feel with Blake that everything that lives is holy. — location: 1305
