Douglas\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlyphs, a new collection of poetry from Colin B. Douglas, includes poems (some revised) from his first book, First Light, First Water, along with fifty-six new pieces, all stunningly dreamlike, disturbing, and beautiful. Douglas writes: \"Readers will find the poems in the first part of this collection, approximately through 'Outside the Longhouse, ' to be readily accessible, but those in the latter part of the book may seem puzzling and strange-'surrealistic.' If the reader finds a beauty in those poems, despite their seeming irrationality, and though it be a mysterious beauty, then I call them successful. To my mind, poems of this kind can be merest glimpses through a window on the infinite and eternal and marvelous and rationally, literally unspeakable mystery of being, of 'that which is Spirit, even the Spirit of truth, ' in the words of Joseph Smith (Doctrine and Covenants 93:23); of the utter freedom-agency-of Being; of the erotic and convulsively beautiful ecstasy of Eternal Life and Creation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.35 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42095800975495,"sku":"9781434103901","price":24.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/136de029b1d818952c3598ab59537f0e.webp?v=1732335105","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/glyphs-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
