The Spirit It Travels: An Anthology of Transcendent Poetry

Featuring works by poets from the U.S., UK, Canada, Turkey, and Singapore, these selections paint a dynamic portrait of contemporary transcendent thought and feeling. In this collection you will find notes from the transcendent treasuries of sixty-three poets spanning six decades in age. Cosmographia Books Publisher Nina Alvarez has pulled from the most significant and compelling poems submitted to the 2017-2018 Cosmographia call for transcendent poetry. Eighty-four poems are presented in seven sections of twelve poems each—Searching, Introspection, Secrets, Time, Mysteries of Nature, Awakening in Nature, Spirit—each marked by an illustration.
