The River of Winged Dreams (Paperback)

Review & Description

The journey that first started with Songs of the Angelic Gaze and continued with The Bridge of Silver Wings now moves into even deeper and higher realms of creative wonder in THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS. Online readers noted from the beginning that something special was happening as those poems which would eventually comprise Songs of the Angelic Gaze popped up in Internet posts every other week, much like the unusual angels which many of the poems described have been said to appear unexpectedly in individuals lives. Movie-goers, television-watchers, and readers of novels not to mention students of world spirituality-- have long been accustomed to the idea of paranormal partnerships between humans and angels and terrifying clashes with demons. What they had not seen or heard until Songs of the Angelic Gaze -- were such passionate classic struggles presented in the voice of a modern poet who seemed to have occupied a front row seat to battle in both heaven and hell while transcribing all he witnessed into highly original and powerfully mesmerizing literary art. Those unfamiliar with Songs of the Angelic Gaze and The Bridge of Silver Wings will be glad to know that THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS contains all the works presented in the previous volume plus much more. So there is no need for them to purchase the previous title unless they wish to do so for the collectible cover art by Luther E. Vann (though even this is available with more than 60 other reproductions of Vann s work in ELEMENTAL, The Power of Illuminated Love ). Those who own The Bridge of Silver Wings might ask why they should invest in THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS. The best answer to that would be the book s introduction, which has been published online as Evolution of a Vision, from Songs of the Angelic Gaze to The River of Winged Dreams. In it, the author notes: ...the death of a dream can in fact serve as the vehicle that endows it with new form, with reinvigorated substance, a fresh flow of ideas, and splendidly revitalized color. In short, the power of a certain kind of dream is such that death need not indicate finality at all but rather signify a metaphysical and metaphorical leap forward. Read more
