The Five Quintets is both poetry and cultural history. It offers a sustained reflection on modernity—people and movements—in poetic meter. Just as Dante, in his Divine Comedy, summed up the Middle Ages on the cusp of modernity, The Five Quintets takes stock of a late modern world on the cusp of the first-ever global century. Celebrated Irish poet Micheal O’Siadhail structures his Quintets to echo the Comedy. Where Dante had a tripartite structure, O’Siadhail has a five-part structure, with each quintet devoted to a discipline—the arts; economics; politics; science; and philosophy and theology.

Whilst Europe endured the Dark Ages in the 6th & 7th Centuries, devotees of Shiva and Vishnu in Southern India were creating the Bhakti Movement. Some of these exponents, as in our volume, were bestowed with the title of saint but some had the additional title of sant, swami or goswami. Broadly speaking, Bhakti poetry, as in Hinduism itself, is divided into ‘Nirguna’, the idea that the divine is formless as exampled by Kabir and ‘Saguna’, which interprets the divine as having physical form as captured by Mirabai.

Fra le pagine una mappatura dell'anima che è luogo e memoria - "Ti tengo / nell'entroterra dell'anima / in un respiro di due sillabe", la vita come frattura in fiore su un muro: "la conseguenza del mattino / uno schianto in due tempi", e ovunque il frammento dell'esperienza restituito in trama: "nulla sappiamo della mano / che ci regge il giorno / a tremare / fra la memoria e la sete".

Jesus Who? is an audiobook written and narrated by Tony Powell. It is a modern-day rhyme poem about the life of someone who lived over 2000 years ago.

"Di stanze vuote" è una silloge di venticinque componimenti e aforismi dell'autore. Il titolo "Di stanze vuote" sembra un voluto gioco di parole: leggendo a voce alta può infatti diventare "Distanze vuote". Sono spazi vuoti lasciati dai momenti difficili nei percorsi umani, là dove non c'è una fede a sostenerli. Sarebbero eterne stanze vuote tutte le vicende della vita e tutti gli stati d'animo delle persone se non ci fosse qualcosa a dare un senso a tutto quello che ci circonda. È una metafora ampia e ricca di sfumature, che a sua volta il lettore può riempire con la propria visione delle cose.
