The Spirit It Travels

When asked for a definition of the term "transcendent," visionary director and avid meditator David Lynch once said: "Within every human being there is a treasury. And this treasury is the transcendent. It's a field, an eternal field, of pure, unbounded consciousness, and it, being eternal, has always and forever been there. Underlying the whole field of relativity, deep within each one of us, never had a beginning, it's there now and it will be there forever."

In this collection you will find notes from the transcendent treasuries of sixty-three poets spanning six decades in age. Cosmographia Books Publisher Nina Alvarez has pulled from the most significant and compelling poems submitted to the 2017-2018 Cosmographia call for transcendent poetry. Eighty-four poems are presented in seven sections of twelve poems each--Searching, Introspection, Secrets, Time, Mysteries of Nature, Awakening in Nature, Spirit--each marked by an illustration.
