Given the horrendous events in Paris, I invite you to consider reading my epic poem. Available in France, Germany, throughout Europe and the world, on all Amazon and other book sites. With Rumi and Attar, Cervantes, Dante, Goethe, Rabelais, Indian poets and so many others as guides and masters, East and West, I evoke the Unity of the Soul from the global perspective of the Moon... that humanity might come together in peace and a deeper understanding of what it means today to be human. Apollo, the Greek god of poetry, calls all the poets of the nations, ancient and modern, East and West, to assemble on the moon to consult on the meaning of modernity. The Parliament of Poets sends the Persona, the Poet of the Moon, on a Journey to the seven continents to learn from all of the spiritual and wisdom traditions of humankind. On Earth and on the moon, the poets teach him a new global, universal vision of life. The purpose of the spiritual journey of the Poet of the Moon is to seek deliverance of the modern human from the captivity of nothingness, nihilism and atheism, and from the resulting chaos and chasm of soul. From the versatile he gets scores of life-affirming lessons, yet the core meaning of all is that the Supreme Being as well as the earth is one, and so human beings are one nation irrespective of their clan, class, color, race, religion and gender. In this earth human beings are part of the Great Mystery’s creation and their duty is to keep the balance and harmony of the universe, to achieve union, to choose sacrifice, and to be self-controlled. In this manner Glaysher sings the song of ‘one Earth, without borders, Mother Earth, her embrace encircling one people, humankind’ (19)…. Bravo to the Poet for this toilsome but brilliant endeavour. —Umme Salma, International Islamic University, Department of English Language and Literature, Chittagong, Bangladesh, in Transnational Literature, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia A contemporary classic!
