AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The book encapsulates the moods and quests of eighty seven contributors most of whom are from Australia; the rest are from the United Kingdom, Germany, Malaysia, Netherlands and the United States. The anthology has been organised along roughly thematic lines with nine sections each titled to highlight the role of nature and the spiritual in nature. There are new poems by Robert Adamson as well as previously unpublished poets, fragments of plays by Polish actor/director Bogdan Koca, commentary on the body and consciousness by two psychologists (noted writer on the soul Robert Sardello and Canberra based Steven Guth), translations from the Arabic of celebrated Lebanese poet Wadih Sa'adeh, translations from the Persian, Chinese, German and French and funny one-liners not found in fortune cookies.
