In Spirit Garden, poet-scholar-playwright Joe Martin sings ecstatically of the One, the hidden integrity of opposites & the living mystery of existence. He not only fuses Sufi, Buddhist & Jewish paths in a troubadours transcendence both timeless & time-bound, his thirty poems share the page with Enrique Castanons haunting figures which shift foreground and background to meta-illustrate the gestalt of Martins vision.
