The Spirit It Travels: An Anthology of Transcendent Poetry

by Cosmographia Books, Nina Alvarez (Editor)

When asked for a definition of the term “transcendent,” visionary director and avid meditator David Lynch once "Within every human being there is a treasury. And this treasury is the transcendent. It’s a field, an eternal field, of pure, unbounded consciousness, and it, being eternal, has always and forever been there. Underlying the whole field of relativity, deep within each one of us, never had a beginning, it’s there now and it will be there forever." In this collection you will find notes from the transcendent treasuries of sixty-three poets spanning six decades in age. Cosmographia Books Publisher Nina Alvarez has pulled from the most significant and compelling poems submitted to the 2017-2018 Cosmographia call for transcendent poetry. Eighty-four poems are presented in seven sections of twelve poems each—Searching, Introspection, Secrets, Time, Mysteries of Nature, Awakening in Nature, Spirit—each marked by an illustration. Featuring works by poets from the U.S., UK, Canada, Turkey, and Singapore, these selections paint a dynamic portrait of contemporary transcendent thought and feeling Contributors Mary Alter
