Dante said that at some point in a man's life he might meet a savvy woman - so pretty to his eyes - that it might cause the heart's slumbering lord (Amor) to stir and awaken. This is apparently what happened to Dante - who caught a glimpse of Beatrice in his youth, and found that it perfumed his entire life. Some seven centuries later, a similarly initiatory heart-awakening stirs in Gary Rosenthal's The You That Is Everywhere, a selection of ecstatic love poems that harkens back to the romantic sensibility of this earlier time - the high middle ages.

read moreDistilled to its essence, my work is simply the reflection of two intentions. First, to orient, mirror, and support people in coming home to themselves. That is, to what's most innate, though often overlooked, if recognized at all--one's very being, presence itself. Second, I attempt a compassionate, occasionally provocative, yet nuanced reflection of something else--exactly what it is that we currently do, or believe--that keeps the fullness of presence obscured. For when presence is obscured or inadequately valued, we can't help but thrash like a fish out of water--and feel orphaned from the sacred.
