An ecstatic sequel to the Afghan author's more somber book, 'Into
Solidity, ' 'The Butterfly Gate' is a bright, explosive and
georgeous collection of poems / hilarious illustrations by a
slightly crazy writer who, despite operating on a totally
mysterious and euphoric level, kindly makes us feel completely
welcome as we navigate his sensual-spiritual stream of purple,
laughing consciousness. As with the other works in this series, the
readers will find themselves inundated with very human,
unpretentious poetry that is ultimately, as the foreword informs
us, a documentation of the soul as it attempts to break free from
the body, without any proper 'guidelines'. To this end, the
British-born author finds himself almost haunted by an impossible
to place, 'East' which comes along every once in a while and
teases, releasing scents of possible solution. The short stories
included are in equal parts liberating, funny and mystical; much
like the rest of the book, they leave us with a feeling of awe at
our own unique human existence; happy strangers to our own skin,
curious tourists to the possibilities of our own, fresh hearts.
Inspirational, alive and, like a baby, softly kicking- 'The
Butterfly Gate' is a wonderful depiction of sensual, problematic,
delicious human LIFE
