Synopsis

A few weeks after her father's death, linguist and educator, Lisa Smartt, heard his voice asking that she transcribe poems from beyond the veil for his beloved, Susan, wife of of 54 years. Was it truly the spirit of her father or merely her imagination? Lisa is not sure, but the poems inspired by his voice are beautiful, so she gathered them together into this collection in celebration and memory of his life and love. Those who read the poems agree that they have a vision about them, as if from a perspective much greater than ours and offer an expanded appreciation of all we are. Rafael Gonzalez, Poet Laureate of Berkeley, Ca, writes, "And whose poems are they? Lisa's? Her father Morton's from beyond the threshold? It matters not. What matters are the poems themselves, celebrations of life and of love, lyrical, tender and passionate..."

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Lisa Smartt, is the author of Words at the Threshold (2017), based on the early findings of The Final Words Project, an informal research study dedicated to better understanding people's last words that she undertook with Dr. Raymond Moody, who coined the term "near-death experience." Her interest in language and consciousness has been a central focus of her work. She is currently also publishing Cante Bardo, a tale of a flamenco singer caught between the worlds as he makes peace with the past before returning to Earth for a new life. The novel, like the book of poems, has the quality of being "channeled" and expressing insights and realities far beyond her own. Lisa is deeply intrigued by how language informs and deepens our spiritual life and how we understand ourselves and Source. Writing both these books inspired her and she was grateful to feel her father's everlasting presence in Veil. What is real and what is imagined matters less to Lisa Smartt than the power of expression and the spiritual connection that comes to listening closely to language and voices around and inside us. Lisa's work with the language of the dying taught her that language is not always intelligible or about the tangible; language that is not literal and clear often holds jewels and reflects unique and expanded ways of seeing ourselves and the world. Veil clearly contains a language that is sometimes mysterious and nonsensical while also lucid and illuminating. The poems from across the veil seem to have the same kind of richly textured quality as do the final words of those she studied in the last 5 years. Language and consciousness continue to guide her life as Raymond Moody and she create The University of Heaven. The University of Heaven is an online learning portal for the study of consciousness, including the ways words both express and create our realities.
