Pearl Diving: Haiku, Longer Poems, and Short Stories

By Peter Gardner

This is a book of works which explore the mystical paths to illumination, drawing as a life's odyssey, from mythic and mystic sources, Hellenic, Indian Vedic and Buddhist, and, ultimately, Christian epiphany, using lyric symbolism and straight prose, to invoke a sense of life as the evolution of the soul. War, spiritual connection, emotion, pain, are explored as traveling to freedom and enlightenment, hopefully release, ascent to truth, a lens into experience, poems which range from thoughts about the nature of time and the sacred, visions of the symbolism of stellar constellations, and Christian images, the holy grail, refining of the soul, improvisations on the sky and sea, light and art, truth and awakening.
