Spiritual Books

Roy Anthony Shabla is a respected poet, writer, artist, filmmaker, and bookmaker.
His work in various media of the Arts and Letters has consistently achieved critical success.

His book of ecstatic poetry, eating God, is hailed as the spiritual legacy of famed Sufi poet, Rumi yet has its roots even deeper in the ancient Sanskrit (Vedic) texts, the Upanishads.

His new book of poetry, libretti lumi, is a modern masterpiece exploring the effects of love and loneliness on a spiritual person.

His prose ~ both fiction and non-fiction ~ is praised for its craftsmanship, clarity, and timelessness. His writing in every genre is a delight to the heart and an epiphany for the soul.

i write therefore i am The lovechild of Dr Seuss and Philip Glass is a Zen master named, i write therefore i am. Or, i am not. This chapbook is a hall of mirrors which reflects more reality than fantastic or fractured distortion. It is a writer’s handbook on why we write; two poems about the soul of poetry. It is music and psychoanalysis and a string of epiphanies knotted like a cat’s cradle. Hypnotic, dizzying… the book is a "must read" for any writer and any reader who considers literature an essential part of life. blog about language poetry $9.99    purchase book from publisher
