I KIND OF LIKE IT
108 Sonnets for Awakening by Alan Jacobs
I loved reading these poems. They express spiritual truths easily and
beautifully. The sonnet form seems to suit the spiritual subjects
perfectly. It's a great challenge to use a form like the sonnet - which
is quite strict - and be completely natural, and even liberating. There
is hope, longing, beauty and most of all reassurance in the radiant
spiritual nature of reality in these poems. They are great examples of
the close link between spirituality and poetry, as evidenced by poets
like Rumi, Kabir and Walt Whitman. Alan Jacobs is their worthy spiritual
and poetic descendant.
