It has been a challenging year for most of us, I know. As we approach the winter holidays, our normal celebratory feeling is muted. We are more cautious about big family gatherings. Economic times are uncertain for many. And the new year remains unknown. But we can choose to use this as a time of spiritual opportunity. So much that we have taken for granted \u2014 in the world around us and within ourselves \u2014 has been losing its rigid certainty. When things return to a formless and changing state, that is when the greatest potential is available to us. This is a time for dreaming as new patterns form and take shape. And what better time to dream than in the deep of winter? Let us cultivate new visions for who we are and who we are becoming. Let us rediscover our native voices.<\/p>\n

I strongly believe that poetry is one of the most powerful, resonant tools for the spirit to reach out into the world. Words and images, rhythms and silences, these expand our awareness, they shift our focus, they open our hearts \u2014 and we, in turn, inevitably affect the world around us.<\/p>\n

So consider treating yourself to some enlightening moments of poetry this winter. Offer it as a transformative and healing gift to your family and friends. Watch as it works its magic within you and the world around you.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoetry has an immediate effect on the mind. The simple act of reading poetry alters thought patterns and the shuttle of the breath. Poetry induces trance. Its words are chant. Its rhythms are drumbeats. Its images become the icons of the inner eye. Poetry is more than a description of the sacred experience; it carries the experience itself.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

In many ways this is my most personal publication, combining favorite soul-inspiring poems from the world\u2019s great religious and spiritual traditions, accompanied by the thoughts, meditations, commentary, and occasional tangents that have been central to the Poetry Chaikhana poem emails for years. Selections from Rumi, Whitman, Kabir, Machado, Issa, Teresa of Avila, Dickinson, Blake, Yunus Emre, John of the Cross, Lalla, and many others.<\/p>\n

These are poems of seeking and awakening\u2026 and the longing in between.<\/span><\/small><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Longing in Between is a work of sheer beauty.<\/b> Ivan M. Granger has done a great service, not only by bringing [these poems] to public attention, but by opening their deeper meaning with his own rare poetic and mystic sensibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ivan M. Granger accompanies each poem with his own reflections and meditative commentaries, inviting us to explore the insights and private raptures of these mystics, seers, and saints-until we too are swept up in this dance of bliss!<\/p>\n

\u201cThis book is a treasure, a feast, an oasis.<\/strong> Ivan M. Granger\u2019s profound gift for selecting the kind of poetry that lights up the cave of the heart and melts the boundaries between the soul and the Divine is fully met by his lucid reflections on the soul-transfiguring power of each piece in this magnificent collection.<\/small><\/i>\u201d

 Haiku Enlightenment<\/em> is a delightful, often playful look at haiku as both a poetic craft and a pathway of awakening \u2013 for poets, seekers and creative rebels.<\/p>\n

Gabriel Rosenstock has given us a rich collection of insights, distilled from a lifetime dedicated to the art and practice of poetry, on stepping into inspired moments. Using a generous selection of contemporary and classical haiku, he explores ideas of creativity and perception, encouraging us to calm the restless mind, notice what is overlooked, explore the world around us, and fully encounter each glowing moment.<\/p>\n

From such moments, haiku \u2013 and enlightenment \u2013 emerge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Haiku happens in this world of daily miracles and is a perfect prism through which Nature herself enlightens us.
\n\u2013 Gabriel Rosenstock, from Haiku Enlightenment<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

This year I thought I would change things up a bit with a more personal list. Rather than giving you a list of general gift suggestions, I thought why not create a list of the sacred poetry books that have meant the most to me at key points in my life.<\/p>\n

I had a pleasant afternoon going through my bookshelves, pulling books I\u2019ve loved, remembering key moments in my journeys of spiritual and poetic exploration, until I was surrounded by stacks of cherished books. I thought, this is it! This will be my holiday recommended book list this year. It was only when I then went back and checked my holiday book lists from the previous few years that I realized I have been recommending many of these personally beloved books all along. So here they are (again): my list of books recommended for the holidays, books that have opened doorways in my mind and heart, awakening a deep love of poetry as a way to express the ineffable. I hope these books will mean something special to you and your loved ones these holidays\u2026<\/p>\n

A Sampling of Sufi Wisdom\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nPerfume of the Desert: Inspirations from Sufi Wisdom<\/a>
\nBy Andrew Harvey and Eryk Hanut<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Something about Andrew Harvey\u2019s selections and translations always strike a pure note. This book is a delightful collection of poetry and Sufi wisdom stories. Rumi, Kabir, al-Hallaj, Shabistari, Ansari\u2026 This is one I return to again and again.<\/em><\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nNobody, Son of Nobody: Poems of Shaikh Abu-Saeed Abil-Kheir<\/a>
\nRenditions by Vraje Abramian<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I read this book early in my exploration of Sufi poetry \u2014 and I was hooked! Abu Said Abil-Kheir\u2019s poetry ranges from the ecstatic and celestial, to struggles with abandonment. His poetry has an immediacy and even a sort of devoutly wry petulance. This book remains a personal favorite of mine.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/a><\/td>\nWomen in Praise of the Sacred: 43 Centuries of Spiritual Poetry by Women<\/a>
\nEdited by Jane Hirshfield<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This is the first anthology I got years ago that made me say, Wow! Includes Sappho, Rabia, Yeshe Tsogyel, Hildegard von Bingen, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Hadewijch of Antwerp, Lalla, Mirabai, Bibi Hayati, Marina Tsvetaeva. The best collection I\u2019ve found of women\u2019s voices in sacred poetry.<\/em>\n<\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nKali: The Black Goddess of Dakshineswar<\/a>
\nby Elizabeth U. Harding<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Not really a poetry collection, but this was the book that first introduced me to the fierce and passionate poetry of the great Kali devotees, like Ramprasad and Kalamakanta. Elisabeth Harding has done a beautiful job of gathering together Kali lore and presenting it to a primarily Western audience, while remaining reverent toward Kali and traditions of Kali worship. She discusses the traditional symbolism of Kali and the shocking, violent images associated with Her. Kali emerges in the reader\u2019s mind as the loving destroyer of illusion, ecstatic slayer of demonic qualities.<\/em>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nThe Enlightened Heart: An Anthology of Sacred Poetry<\/a>
\nEdited by Stephen Mitchell
\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This is a compact anthology, but a wonderful collection that includes Li Po, Wu-Men, Rumi, Kabir, Mirabai, Rilke\u2026 And the added bonus of Stephen Mitchell\u2019s way with words. One of my personal favorites.<\/em><\/br>\n<\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nThe Illuminated Rumi<\/a>
\nTranslations by Coleman Barks
\nArt by Michael Green<\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I keep recommending this year after year. It is a beautiful gift book with excerpts of Rumi\u2019s poetry accompanied by amazing digital collage artwork that draws you deeply into each page. This book entrances on several levels. An excellent gift book.<\/em><\/br><\/p>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For the Christian contemplative\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nThe Book of Mystical Chapters:<\/a>
\nMeditations on the Soul\u2019s Ascent from the Desert Fathers and Other Early Christian Contemplatives<\/a>
\nTranslated and Introduced by John Anthony McGuckin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This is the book that, years ago, introduced me to the stunning poetry of Symeon the New Theologian, igniting my passion for his visionary poetry of light and transformation. You\u2019ll also find poems and poetic renditions of writings from many other saints and mystics of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Still a favorite of mine.<\/em><\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nSelected Poems of Thomas Merton<\/a>
\nby Thomas Merton<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I can\u2019t recommend this collection highly enough. Merton, in addition to being a deep mystic, was a truly excellent contemporary poet. His poems feel entirely modern, yet touch on the eternal. While drawing on Catholic imagery, one can hear whispers of Eastern philosophy and insight in his words. Poems to reread and meditate deeply upon.<\/em>\n<\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nHadewijch: The Complete Works<\/a>
\nTranslations by Mother Columba Hart<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I was introduced to the divine love poetry of the Flemish mystic Hadewijch in the excellent anthology Women in Praise of the Sacred<\/a>, edited by Jane Hirshfield. I knew I had encountered a something amazing, but the sampling in that book was frustratingly small. I finally found this book with the complete works of this mysterious Beguine spiritual figure \u2014 visions, letters, and a beautiful collection of sacred poetry. The love mysticism of her poetry rightly draws comparisons to the rich traditions of Sufi and Bhakti poetry.<\/em>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For the Jewish mystic\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nThe Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse<\/a>
\nEdited and Translated by T. Carmi<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The most complete collection I\u2019ve found of sacred Hebrew poetry, including Judah ha Levi, Solomon ibn Gabirol, Samuel Hanagid, the early Hekhalot Hymns, and many more. My only complaint: the translations in this encyclopedic collection are not versified, even though the Hebrew originals were. I still love it simply because it pointed me in a dozen enlightening different directions.<\/em>\n<\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nThe Poetry of Kabbalah: Mystical Verse from the Jewish Tradition<\/a>
\nTranslated and Edited by Peter Cole<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Finally we have a truly excellent collection of sacred Jewish poetry. While T. Carmi\u2019s Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse<\/i> is more comprehensive, Cole\u2019s The Poetry of Kabbalah<\/i> has more of a poet\u2019s sense of language and even catches of few sparks from the mystic\u2019s fire. This is poetry that startles and transports. The Poetry of Kabbalah<\/i> has become my favorite source for Jewish mystical poetry in English.
\nWhile T. Carmi\u2019s Penguin Book of Hebrew Verse<\/i><\/a> is more comprehensive, Cole has more of a poet\u2019s sense of language. Very highly recommended.<\/em>\n<\/td>\n<\/table>\n

A moment of Zen\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/td>\nThe Zen Poetry of Dogen: Verses from the Mountain of Eternal Peace<\/a>
\nTranslations by Steven Heine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Although best known for his Zen discourses and his role establishing Zen practice in Japan, Dogen was an exceptional poet too. Quiet moments of insight expressed in a bare minimum of lines. One of my favorites.<\/em>\n<\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nZen Poetry: Let the Spring Breeze Enter<\/a>
\nEdited by Lucien Stryk and Takashi Ikemoto<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

A good collection without being overwhelming. I especially like it\u2019s selection of Japanese haiku: Basho, Buson, Issa, Masahide\u2026<\/em>\n<\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nSun at Midnight: Muso Soseki \u2013 Poems and Sermons<\/a>
\nTranslations by W. S. Merwin and Soiku Shigematsu<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

A friend introduced me to this collection, and I was entranced. Muso Soseki is known today for establishing rock gardening as meditative Zen practice, but his poetry \u2014 wonderful! And with translations by WS Merwin, you can\u2019t ask for more!<\/em>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

(And don\u2019t forget the Poetry Chaikhana\u2019s publication of Gabriel Rosenstock\u2019s, Haiku Enlightenment<\/a><\/strong>!)<\/em><\/center><\/p>\n

Artist, Therapist, Shaman\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nPoetic Medicine: The Healing Art of Poem-Making<\/a>
\nBy John Fox<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Not a book of poetry, but a book that belongs on every poetry lover\u2019s bookshelf. This is a book about the transformational nature of poetry \u2013 reading it, speaking it, writing it. Poetry as therapy. Poetry as a pathway to self-exploration. Poetry to rediscover your true voice. I was surprised how much I liked this book.<\/em><\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n
\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Transcendent Hindu verses\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nSpeaking of Siva<\/a>
\nTranslated by A. K. Ramanujan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This book became an immediate favorite of mine ever since I picked up a copy of it a few years ago. Stunning poems from the Shiva bhakti tradition of India. Basava, Devara Dasimayya, Akka Mahadevi, Allama Prabhu. The commentary in the book, though a little academic, is genuinely insightful. Enthusiastically recommended!<\/em><\/td>\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nFor Love of the Dark One: Songs of Mirabai<\/a>
\nTranslations by Andrew Schelling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Andrew Schelling\u2019s translations embody that tension between heartbreak and ecstasy that runs through all of Mirabai\u2019s poetry. These poems can be read as love poems or as spiritual poems \u2014 but, of course, they are both. A lovely collection.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\nAnd for blessings\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\nTo Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings<\/a>
\nby John O\u2019Donohue<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I keep being told by people how much they love this book of poetic blessings from the Irish philosopher, poet, and mystic, John O\u2019Donohue. These poetically crafted blessings and meditations on the passages of life manage to elevate the spirit, warm the heart, and, on occasion, bring a tear to the eye.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Let\u2019s remember that, in the midst of winter\u2019s dark, this is the time to renew the light \u2014 within ourselves and our world.
