About the Contributor(s): Yahia Lababidi is an Egyptian-American
thinker and Pushcart-nominated poet, whose work has been translated
into nearly a dozen languages. To date, Lababidi is the author of 4
well-received books, in 4 different genres: Signposts to Elsewhere
(aphorisms), Trial by Ink: From Nietzsche to Bellydancing (essays),
Fever Dreams (poems), and most recently, The Artist as Mystic
(conversations).
The Artist as Mystic is a set of lyric conversations between
aphorists Yahia Lababidi and Alex Stein. These conversations
constitute what Australians call a Songline a set of sacred songs
that allow the reader/listener to navigate through an unknown
terrain, in this case, populated by tortured and ecstatic souls:
Kafka, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, Rilke, Kierkegaard and Ekelund. These
visionaries are masterfully evoked in this very fine work of
biography and criticism. But these writings are more than the sum
of notes on a page, they are song. The Artist as Mystic passes the
test of all great writing, not only to delight, but to leave us
knowing something of the subject, and ourselves, that we hadn t
considered before.
