“With his new book, THE PARLIAMENT OF POETS, Frederick GLAYSHER is in a creative dialog with the greatest epic poets of all time. He is bringing together in beautiful verse form, tending, as he writes ‘to the iambic pentameter, depending on thought and need’, diverse visions of humanity from all over the world. Frederick Glaysher’s poetic imagination is frequently casting them in the form of spatial and cosmic imagery. That is very exalting to the reader’s spirit. What is more, in reading his new book one is not only compassing, beyond the horizon of empirical facts, a borderless world, but one is also beholding the ‘oneness’ of humankind in a different light. • ‘The Parliament of Poets’ (Earthrise Press, 2012) by Frederick Glaysher is a pure joy; embodied in a literary work of fine verbal art it is contemporary ‘world literature’ at its best.” —Dr. Hans Ruprecht, CKCU Literary News, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada.

The Mask

It was only several months after finishing my epic poem that I came to realize a deeper level of the metaphor of the mask, startled to the point of physically shaking. One must make the journey to understand.

The Golden Tripod

Priestess of Delphi

Priestess of Delphi (1891) by John Collier; the Pythia was inspired by pneuma rising from below. (Wikipidia)

The Golden Tripod

The oracles of the Pythian priestess,
wafting up from the chasm, a breath below,
that man might know the Olympian god,
Apollo, returns, reigns again at Delphi.
