Harrell\u2019s bold and searching collection takes readers on an odyssey of inquiry, with the first and foremost question being ‘How to establish that \/ Yes, I am \/ One with God and God is \/ One with You.’ But rather than provide an answer, Harrell\u2019s poems seek to use the question as a gateway into a thought-space where the act of seeking knowledge results in spiritual transcendence. In a note, Harrell describes her spirituality as a conscious, living thing shaped over time by a series of spiritual events she calls ‘initiations,’ and through her poetry, Harrell seeks to divulge her spiritual wisdom.<\/p>\n
The principle spiritual tenet in Particle Pi\u00f1ata\u00a0<\/em><\/span>is that all knowledge of the universe is united in an ever-shifting entity to which all people contribute and borrow, including the poet\u2019s literary inspirations Baudelaire, Emerson, Whitman, and Joyce, and major figures from the poet\u2019s own life, which include Milton Klonsky and Hunter Thompson. . . .<\/p>\n
Touching on religion, philosophy, particle physics, linguistics, and more heady concepts, Harrell\u2019s collection is a cosmic, often esoteric whirlwind which seeks to bring the poet\u2019s conception of a spiritual being to life.
\nTakeaway: A cosmic, sophisticated collection that touches on spirituality, philosophy, and physics.<\/p>\nGreat for fans of: Milton Klonsky, Delmore Schwartz.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
From the Publisher:<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Particle Pi\u00f1ata<\/em><\/span>\u00a0collection spans over forty years of Life tackled from the heart. The genesis emerged when, living in Morocco in 1980, Margaret Ann Harrell began recording her dreams. And they poured in, introducing her to image trails.\u201d She was in deep contact with the unconscious. In it resided this poet, a \u201csecond-class citizen\u201d of herself. The poet to whom words came easily because after all she was in the unconscious, whereas the conscious prose author struggled, edited, cut, sweated, and was published. No longer is the poet in the closet. Having been a spokesperson for \u201cthe unconscious,\u201d or collective unconscious, before, in this poetry Harrell brings in the transpersonal nature of us all. From after-death communications to stimulating RUMI-nations to metaphysics in \u201ca bottle,\u201d her poems bring puzzles, thought-provoking, with depth. Many are \u201cTo the Earth,\u201d announcing prophetically, in the 1980s, the upheaval we are seeing today. True to the brand of humor of the unconscious, there is a section of brilliant word play, narrating insights about the untold stories of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, theChrist spirit, and the universal Christ consciousness.<\/p>\n
From\u2014Ron Whitehead, U.S. National Beat Poet Laureate<\/p>\n
The time of the grandmothers, of the nurturing healing feminine energy has arrived. Patriarchy has sewn destruction long enough. We must all, female and male, become healers, seers. In her epic PARTICLE PINATA, author Margaret Ann Harrell stands in direct lineage with the desert mystics, the poet prophets of old and, simultaneously, with the contemporary cutting edge avant-garde. In a whirling dance with the creative forces of the universe Harrell draws explicit and implicit lines to Rumi, Blake, Yeats, Joyce, Jung, and others while forging mystical connections with clouds and coastlines, dancing in the borderlands of space and time, of being and not being, of embracing and letting go. And she accomplishes it all in her own distinctly original poetic voice. Through decades of carrying these poems from continent to continent, Margaret Ann Harrell has continued to add new poems and photos, to edit and revise, to transform her self into an ever evolving being, into this masterpiece book. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Go ahead, open the front cover and enter. You’ll never be the same.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
