<p>In its procession through indirection to attention, Gospel Earth, Jeffery Beam's big book of little poems, traces a transcendent open ecstasy &amp; radiant physicality. Bridging aphoristic composure, Vedic &amp; Zen alertness &amp; the ecstasy of the Christian, Bhaktic, &amp; Sufi mystics, the poems invoke earth spirits &amp; the luminous power of the Word, breaching the divide between creation &amp; humanity, healing the domination heating the earth &amp; searing our moral compass. The poems animate the natural world beyond the confines of language, demonstrating once again as North Carolina's Independent Weekly stated "how large a canvas he can paint with a few deft strokes". Described by the poet as a work intended to "invigorate the startling propulsion of haiku's accessible simplicity &amp; minimalism", Gospel Earth assembles a new Gnostic gospel, a distinct &amp; astonishing beauty.</p>

Poetry

Skysill Press

Alchemical polyphonia of non sequitur. Massa confusa of the digital age spied through the alembic of books. Relentless machinery of revelation. An eschatology of the species, of the biosphere. Chance operations and elegant lyrical surrealism. Vermicelli five bushels hashish vowel. It's all here in The Sixth Great Extinction. In his poetry, Whit Griffin makes living forms. He's doing it to keep the tradition alive. -Peter O'Leary
