The marriage of poetry and spirituality is of course an ancient one, and in Down in the White of the Tree, Tim J. Myers works in that tradition. But his isn't conventional religious poetry, some of which, he believes, is either inadequate for genuine spiritual seeking or antithetical to it. Myers works from the larger tradition, in which Rilke speaks of God as the profoundly distant Center on whose outermost periphery we reside--and from which Hafiz can assert that the universe is "just a tambourine" for us to play against our "warm thigh[s]." These are poems of doubt, of faith, and of a profound love for the radiance we can encounter in the world.
"Like the psalms, the poems in Down in the White of the Tree are hymns of praise, heart-felt memory, and amazement. This is a beautiful, masterful collection that our aching world truly needs." Ron Hansen, National Book Award finalist "Tim Myers' poems transport you to places you did not know you wanted to go... I invite you to travel with him in the beauty and refuge of his poems so that you too can be transported and refreshed." Dr. Sarita Mamayo-Moraga, Expert on Zen and Catholicism, Santa Clara University Central Coast Poetry Shows: Tim J. Myers was featured as the poet of the day.
