Poetry. AS IF THE SKY WERE OPEN is a delightful collection of new and selected poems. Chapter Headings include: The Reality of Words, Love of Many Kinds, Emptiness, and Higher Matters. "Like the door in one of the poems, they open simultaneously inward and outward on the immediacy and momentousness of living and loving, changing and dying, sight and insight"--Albert Gelpi.
