Divine Poetry
Poet Kevin Brain Wright
is a romantic in the best sense of that word. He captures the divine romance
of life through his prose in a brilliant book called “Theological
Immortal Romance – An Elysian Love Story.” His words come across
as if they were written by a 15th century monk who is high on the spiritual
bliss of Holy Communion. One can almost feel this inner joy and “light” he
projects with images from his words and phrasing.
Wright’s poetry evokes those
same sacred feelings that come from the work of other divine and mystical
poets such as Radindranath Tagore, Rumi, and Paramahansa
Yogananda in his book of poems called “Whispers From Eternity.”
This is tall company but I believe that this book is of that same kind of
spiritual DNA.
To call Kevin Wright a mystic
would not be a far stretch – his words certainly convey the feeling that he
is reaching out beyond the material world and has escaped the illusions of
this reality. If he had been born in another time or place, he could have
well been friends with the likes of Blake, Shelley, Keats or Lord Byron. He
fits well into both the romantic and the mystical poet’s clothing.
His words are a perfect bridge
to the feelings he is trying to convey. He is not afraid to expose his heart
and soul in his poems. Truly a gifted writer and one of immense
understanding of things beyond the veil of life; it is no hyperbole to say
that this is an enlightened work by a young master poet! This poet is
destined for greater things then just poetry. He is on his way to
self-realization! I cannot wait to read his coming books.
