Particle Pinata Poems

N PREMIUM COLOR: BookLife writes: Harrell’s bold and searching collection takes readers on an odyssey of inquiry with the first and foremost question being 'How to establish that // Yes I am // One with God and God is // One with You.' But rather than provide an answer Harrell’s poems seek to use the question as a gateway into a thought-space where the act of seeking knowledge results in spiritual transcendence. In a note Harrell describes her spirituality as a conscious living thing shaped over time by a series of spiritual events she calls 'initiations' and through her poetry Harrell seeks to divulge her spiritual wisdom.. The principle spiritual tenet in Particle Piñata is that all knowledge of the universe is united in an ever-shifting entity to which all people contribute and borrow including the poet’s literary inspirations Baudelaire Emerson Whitman and Joyce and major figures from the poet’s own life which include Milton Klonsky and Hunter Thompson. . . .. Touching on religion philosophy particle physics linguistics and more heady concepts Harrell’s collection is a cosmic often esoteric whirlwind which seeks to bring the poet’s conception of a spiritual being to life. Takeaway: A cosmic sophisticated collection that touches on spirituality philosophy and physics.Great for fans of: Milton Klonsky Delmore Schwartz.. From the Publisher: The Particle Piñata collection spans over forty years of Life tackled from the heart. The genesis emerged when living in Morocco in 1980 Margaret Ann Harrell began recording her dreams. And they poured in introducing her to image trails.” She was in deep contact with the unconscious. In it resided this poet a “second-class citizen” of herself. The poet to whom words came easily because after all she was in the unconscious whereas the conscious prose author struggled edited cut sweated and was published. No longer is the poet in the closet. Having been a spokesperson for “the unconscious” or collective unconscious before in this poetry Harrell brings in the transpersonal nature of us all. From after-death communications to stimulating RUMI-nations to metaphysics in “a bottle” her poems bring puzzles thought-provoking with depth. Many are “To the Earth” announcing prophetically in the 1980s the upheaval we are seeing today. True to the brand of humor of the unconscious there is a section of brilliant word play narrating insights about the untold stories of Jesus and Mary Magdalene theChrist spirit and the universal Christ consciousness.. From—Ron Whitehead U.S. National Beat Poet LaureateThe time of the grandmothers of the nurturing healing feminine energy has arrived. Patriarchy has sewn destruction long enough. We must all female and male become healers seers. In her epic PARTICLE PINATA author Margaret Ann Harrell stands in direct lineage with the desert mystics the poet prophets of old and simultaneously with the contemporary cutting edge avant-garde. In a whirling dance with the creative forces of the universe Harrell draws explicit and implicit lines to Rumi Blake Yeats Joyce Jung and others while forging mystical connections with clouds and coastlines dancing in the borderlands of space and time of being and not being of embracing and letting go. And she accomplishes it all in her own distinctly original poetic voice. Through decades of carrying these poems from continent to continent Margaret Ann Harrell has continued to add new poems and photos to edit and revise to transform her self into an ever evolving being into this masterpiece book.
