The poetry Fred LaMotte offers us, touches on the profound tradition of mystical poetry found in the Arabic and Persian languages, which are influencing world spirituality today, and resonate with the Christian mystics and the Aramaic sayings of Jesus. These are poems of mystical love, reaching out across the ocean of cultural and religious difference, to create a shared voice in the quest for divine Love.
