Eric Laurence Glassman''s volume of poems, "The Path of Ambiguity" is a relentless breaking of atoms resurrected as cosmic vibration, intricate analysis and word-association energy. Whether the topic is Paris, the Earth, fairy tales or esoteric spirituality, he freely roams from the perimeter to the core, painting broad strokes as he drills into symbols, infinity and the rusting facade of paradise. A compelling vision of the contemporary spiritual soul scape, "The Path of Ambiguity" is a worthy read.

Good shepherds give life
On my way out on a new journey
Hobbling along
The lack of sleep slowing me down
Too many obstacles and too many disturbances
I have gazed about on wonderful Sunday mornings
I did the great dance in the rain
I made love to the sea and I gave birth to nature
Honorable members
Lost saints of the Promised Land
Penetrating my life force
A humble man I have always been
I shall go out when the dust is thrown
Like a terrorizing mob on the attack
I have loved another
But this love is still misunderstood
One day it will be accepted
Equality comes nearer with each passing decade
Debacles in time
Over thrown with pain
A stinging in my eyes
Grief stricken with unnatural strain
But after all is said and done
It is better to have walked this Earth than to never have at all
Soft air of mid-day
Heaven sent and soothing
Water spouts that flow feverishly
A time well spent is something to be cherished
Whispers of darkness into the night
I hold in my pocket the power of life
Love and her obstacles
There are many rewards
A call to my fellows
Those that live like I do
Don’t beg
Never steal
Shifting through the madness of it all
Listen to yourself as you are your own preacher
Hone in on the calmness that rejects loneliness
One day we’ll conquer death and disease
