The Book of Petite Wisdoms (Paperback)

If we had no other writings from Mr. Craig than Book of Petite Wisdoms, it would be enough: They reveal a poet at the peak of his profession, and still ascending. How possible? Read this volume to find out. The first of four, it telescopes its revelation into seven little 14-syllable lines of wisdom per stanza. 100 stanzas in all. And the revelation? A mystical vision: How out of his Infinite Love God allows Man to not only ascend to Him, but become Him. Sharing this vision with that found in the poetry of Walt Whitman, St. John of the Cross, Hafiz, Rumi, Plotinus, and others, the Book of Petite Wisdoms is no spectator sport, it invites you the reader to ascend as well: "Kiss me," one poem urges us, "Crack the layers of chalk imprisoning your soul. It's not me you're kissing after all --it's the God in you released to make love to everything your senses present..."
