Sopolyrimu Volume 2

About the Book

“This is the second volume of Sopolyrimu to be published. The poems could be called songs from the spirit, to awaken the spirit of compassion in the listener, and, from what I hear from those who have heard some of them, this seems to be indeed true. They are also songs of gratitude for the miracle of life, and laments for the way I and some others all too often trash this miracle by quite reckless and cruel behaviour and temporary or prolonged bouts of simply forgetting what on earth we are doing here, and the consequences of what we do and of forgetting how serious the consequences are.”

"Exquisitely beautiful, beyond superb" (MJ, Australia)

"Hearing this (sopolyrimu) was like being touched by the divine" (EM, Spain)

"The most imaginative and meaningful writing I have come across in many, many years" (PS, Japan)

"… imbued with a tranquil and peaceful certainty ..." (TH, USA)
