Pioneering Over Four Epochs: New Title Page
Pioneering Over Four Epochs as a title page, home page for my blog, shoud go like this:
______________________________________
This tapestry of poetry and prose attempts to endow various themes and a wide range of social science and humanities subjects with many layers of meaning. I try, too, to evoke a complex range of responses from my readers. As initiator of this prose-poetry project, or blog as it is known in common parlance, I have evolved–over half a century now–a style which tries to fuse together material from many academic disciplines, from my own life and my religion, the Baha’i Faith.
It is my conviction that the Baha’i Faith has a significant role to play in the growing unification of the planet. It is my hope, too, that what I write resonates with both the novitiate, the veteran Baha’i and others on a multitude of paths. There are, as yet, few pages of autobiographical narrative, poetry, essays and interviews at this blog location. It should be seen essentially as a resource for various literary and personal purposes. In some ways my blog and my prose-poetry can be viewed as one long diary or travel journal. It is my hope that readers will enjoy, will find some delight, in reading my pieces of writing. And, finally, I welcome any dialogue in relation to my poetry. That’s all folks!
