"Rebirth of Wisdom stands alone, in its own regard, as a work of Pure Poetic Fiction. At the same time, however, it could also be considered a "continuation" of my previous book, "Falling Stars like Fireflies." In Buddhism, the end of an age is called a "Kalpa." In Hinduism, it is called a "Yuga." This is when everything we know as 'our universe' ends and begins again. (The Eye Opens, The Eye Closes.) In "Falling Stars" I imagined Earth at the End of an Age. As I had imagined it, the World was destroyed by meteorites. But slowly the Earth was brought back to life, both physically and spiritually, by the Founders of all the World's Religions. So, after writing "Falling Stars like Fireflies" and sending it off to be published, I was surprised to find, that the poems just kept on coming. My sleep was 'troubled' by something left unsaid. Therefore, the book you hold in your hand is a work with symbolism unique to itself...and at the same time...somehow brings closure to my previous work, "Falling Stars Like Fireflies." I do my best to write Poetry that is both literary and 'deeply layered with meaning'. I do hope you enjoy my efforts. Thank you." - kileyjonclark@gmail.com
