Produktbeschreibung

Skip Maselli is a brilliant word alchemist. He pulls from the collective subconscious with the mastery of a genius, transforming our universal longing into an art that feels like an oasis to the thirsting traveler. His poetry has a sense of familiarity, a direct passage to the heart, infused with a new passion that makes its beats more audible. Reading him will inspire you and reconnect you to the deeper source of wisdom and beauty once known by every soul, yet only accessed daily by a few. Andra Balt, Author, Founder and Editor in Chief of Rebelle Society Masellis poetry is a reminder of the subtlest truths from the beyondlike the prophet Khalil Gibran, his verses are reminders presented in a different light... His couplets set the heart aflame with unquenchable longing until it is reduced to ashes He sings about love in beautiful versesbecause his soul itself has become a song of the beloved, a melody in harmony with and a strain of the music coming from the abode of the unseen. Maselli knows that he himself is not the author of all these verses, rather he is like the flute, [awaiting] the beloveds breath.... Dr. Ahmad Javid Sarwari Qaderi, Sufi teacher and writer Books like this one, the rare gems in the tradition of Rumi and Hafiz, are not just forms of expression, but dialogues between the different facets of ones own self, travelogues through the terrains of the heart and soul, and the saga of stories woven within storiesReading Masellis poetry has the effect of being entranced by all the gates to an otherworldly wisdom, which lay hidden before un-trained eyes. The doors into the realm of love: where wandering is a gift and pain is a treasure. Dr. Arshia Qassim, Neurologist, Columnist, Writer, Poet, Artist

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 first book, "Twenty-Five Words towards the Truth (#25wtT)" was published in March 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.
