DRUID OBSERVATIONS ON A CYCLE OF POEMS 2004 - 2006

This study is a detailed commentary on a sequence of poems, written in Wales, Europe and Asia from 2004-2006. Many of the poems were of a Druidic nature and draw on the universal imagery of the wisdom traditions of the Celtic imagination. A philosopher, historian and expert in world religions and theologies, the poet is able to relate the complex imagery of his poems to the universal language of soul which infuses the world's living spiritual traditions, whatever outer names they bear. The poems have an irenic purpose and drive behind their haunting imagery - to transform a world based on fear, violence and conflict, to one of love, beauty and transcendental wisdom, through the magical incantations of the Word.
