Ushering in a striking collection of devotional verse, Divine Fruit takes its readers on a journey fraught with joy, wonder, longing and heartache for the touch of the Divine as both Lover and Beloved. Readers, having visited these states on the path of their own devotional travels, will recognize the documentary nature of the work. For those, hoping to visit such places during their daily meditations, the selections serve as points of contemplative departure. The poetry's timbre and content are crafted in the tradition of Persia's most translated second-millennial poets and imbued with a modern American sensibility or sometimes surprising twist. #DivineFruit #JulianLynn
