Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
His English is terse and contained, yet it is punctuated by surprising tenderness. Nasr takes langauge to its outermost limits when trying to express the mystery of the unus/ambo and the total eradication of time and space that we experience when the heresy of separation is abolished for a blessed instant. The poems are alive, like an ocean of light; they flow, convince, caress, dance with the reader the eternal dance. Nasr's is indeed a golden calligraphy which is able to convey a definite sense of the inapprehensible mystical experience he celebrates with such passion. -- Luce Lopez Baralt
