Epiphanies: Poems of Liberation, Exile and Confinement

Harvey Gillman describes himself as a seeker, explorer, and a finder, and something of a heretic. Trained as a modern linguist (French and Italian, with Spanish later), he is fascinated by the challenge of communicating beyond frontiers. As a pilgrim, he has been open to various religious traditions, including Judaism, Buddhism, mystical Christianity and the Quaker way. His quest for the divine is his search for the human, a holistic journey of spirit, soul, and body. He has written poetry for most of his adult life. He sees his poetry as a tribute that word and music pay to silence, where the intellect bows before the intuitive. Epiphanies is an account of his journey.
