Publisher's Synopsis
Suspending the Muse addresses issues regarding the authentic article of living in the present. It is an adventure into the unknown where the mind leaves the body to unearth what is concealed. There is a meaningful focus on redeeming time past through time present as time future becomes a grain of sand leading to an enlightened house of many rooms.
In this poetic work, author Dean Gardner uses dazzling wordplay and vivid imagery to pay homage to the artistic muse, that elusive spirit whose visits inspire great works and whose absences haunts those who create.
It is
That it was destiny
That brought him
To the threshold
Of the beyond
Through a portal
Found in the third eye
Of the muse
She led him
To the power
Of The Spirit of Truth
Allowing him
To go
Beyond phenomenal reality
As the celestial clocks
Yielded
To a parabola of time
Anyone who has pursued creative ventures will understand this look into the muse's journey. Suspending the Muse is a quest for comprehension in the face of the unknown as self and muse battle with nothingness. It is an overture to postmodernism in both form and substance.
