Poems of Universal Wisdom and Beauty
Edited by Alan Jacob
This is the greatest anthology of spiritual poetry that has ever been collected. The sheer range of the source material is extraordinary: it spans all ages from the very early mystics over 4,000 years ago right through to the 20th century and includes contributions from every spiritual tradition - from every age.
There are poems from the pens of English language writers as diverse as Sir Philip Sidney, John Donne, Christina Rossetti, W B Yeats, T S Eliot, Ted Hughes and Seamus Heany, as well as literary translations of poetic passages from the Rigveda, the Bible, the Upanishads, The Bhagavad Gita and The Tao Te Ching. With contributions from such legendary writers such as Teresa of Avila, Dante, Rúmí, William Blake and Ramana Maharshi. There are 600 poems by over 250 poets.
This inspirational collection of poetry invokes the deeper resonances of the human existence, and the trials and ecstasies of the mystical path. It will sustain and comfort each of us on our own unique pilgrimage of the soul.
