"Reading #25wtT is like an old wine in a new wineskin ... It is rich with lovely, evocative mystical insights, put into a format that is engaging, contemporary, and profoundly personal. There's something about the brevity of these poems that cuts right to the heart of the matter-and our own hearts.

"Reading #25wtT is like an old wine in a new wineskin ... It is rich with lovely, evocative mystical insights, put into a format that is engaging, contemporary, and profoundly personal. There's something about the brevity of these poems that cuts right to the heart of the matter-and our own hearts. Highly recommended for all spiritual seekers, particularly those of the Sufi tradition." -Dr. Omid Safi, Duke University Arthur Skip Maselli is that rare world citizen artist -- an All-American son of Hafez whose reflections don't just synthesize what is highest and truest from East to West -- but elevate him even more. I recommend this gifted poet's writing with one proviso -- prepare to be haunted by it. -Maureen Seaberg, co-author of Struck By Genius: How A Brain Injury Made Me A Mathematical Marvel (HMH, 2014).

Autorenporträt
Skip Maselli lives in northern Virginia, but resides somewhere between earth and heaven. Raised in the rural areas of southern New Jersey, far from the turnpike, he left for more remote parts of the earth, ending up in the most amazing places, from Korea to Europe, from Australia and the Pacific Rim to Turkey and southwest Asia, and points in between. Skip has been writing and reciting his poetry, prose, quips, and vignettes since he was 11 years old. The genre of his writing delves into various ontological explorations of mysticism, divine and human love, spiritual awakening, and socio-cultural and interpersonal musings. Indeed, you might find Sufi undertones in his writing. His next book, "A Sparrow Who Ate the Universe" is expected to be out in the spring of 2016. Skip received his bachelor's degree from Dickinson College with a focus in geology and philosophy, a combination that at the time made perfect sense. After receiving his master's in civil and environmental engineering from the University of Wisconsin Skip served in the military, which provided him yet another view of the world. As an offset to his current career in business development for a large corporation he remains an impassioned reader, thinker, and deep listener. Many of his views have been shaped as a competitive swimmer and triathlete and spiritual explorationist. He is still called "Daddy" by his highly creative and gifted daughter Camerin, fifteen, and her wisely inquisitive brother, Aidan, twelve who lost their mother three years ago. His work and play reflect a life of inward travels, long drives, short phrases, small disappointments, big lessons - all flavored by serendipity, loving partnerships, and God-sent children and friends.
