Synopsis

Glimpses is a journey across time, faith, and imagination. From owls who cannot see the sun to parrots who know everything but cannot fly, from the lives of prophets and mystics to the stillness of prayer, Ron Geaves weaves parable, reflection, and lyrical meditation into poems that ask what it means to truly see, to know, and to believe. Moving between deserts and churches, rivers and shrines, these poems capture brief moments of clarity and insight, offering readers a chance to look again at the world and its deeper meaning.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ron Geaves is a retired professor of religion whose travels across the Eastern world have been a lasting source of inspiration. Best known for his academic work on Islam in Britain, he held Chairs in Religion at Chester and Liverpool Hope and remains a visiting professor at Cardiff University. His works include Sufis in Britain (2000), Islam Today (2010), and Sufis of Britain (2014). His biography of Abdullah Quilliam (2010) brought him to wider attention. Alongside his scholarship, he has long written poetry, first performing with the Leeds Poetry Group in the 1980s. After retiring to Pembrokeshire, he returned to writing and performance with the Cellar Bards. Beacon Books published his collection Rumi Weeds in 2017 and his memoir (forthcoming).
