Flame of Transformation Turns to Light (Ninety-Nine Ghazals Written in English) / Poems

THE FLAME OF TRANSFORMATION TURNS TO LIGHT is a book of poems in traditional ghazal form, the first half begun in Turkey, companion volume to "open form" poems written at a later visit, published in 2006 as Love is a Letter Burning in a High Wind (The Ecstatic Exchange). Visiting the epiphany-inducing tombs of Mevlana Rumi and his spiritual companion Shems in Konya, their baraka bathing the journey, the grave of Turkey's great native Sufi poet, Yunus Emre, and traveling through a land of such subtle spirituality, these poems chronicle an imagistic diary through both interior and exterior countrysides, with the second half continued in the same vein at home in Philadelphia.Moore, Daniel Abdal-Hayy is the author of 'Flame of Transformation Turns to Light (Ninety-Nine Ghazals Written in English) / Poems', published 2007 under ISBN 9780615142739 and ISBN 0615142737.
