Nominated for the 2006 Pulitzer Prize in Poetry, Optics: The Mystical Poet’s Guide to the Science of Inner Sight, a collection of lyrical and mystical poetry, is designed to inspire, to enlighten, and to transform the reader, intellectually and spiritually, while simultaneously entertaining the reader. Discover new meaning each time you read and reread the poems. In the words of Dr. Kay Etheridge, Prof. of Music at Univ. of San Diego, “I have been moved to various emotions several times by your writing.” Easy to read poems that relax the body and soothe the mind. Listen to the poems recited to relieve stress. Optics also includes an insightful essay, entitled “The Melody of Poetry,” presenting the author’s ideas on the nature of modern poetry, and is based on his own work. Optics is introduced by a prefatory letter to the author, with comments on its contents, by the well-known author, the late James Baldwin. The author, Dr. Vincent Gilliam’s mystical experiences, combined with his Ph.D. studies, completed at Stanford University in Humanities and in Religious Studies, give his poetry a inspirational quality. Dr. Gilliam is a biographee in the Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in Religion, Who’s Who in Education, and in the International Dictionary of Biography from Cambridge, England.
