About this book

In the midst of the broken consciousness of mid-20th century suffering anguish of separation from my own body and its natural infinity of feeling its own self one with all self ... These poems almost unconscious to confess the beatific human fact, the language intuitively chosen as in trance & dream ... while chanting Kaddish the names of Death in many mind-worlds the self seeking the Key to life found at last in our self.
