BUILDING IN DEEPER WATER

This is superb writing about relationship, and such writing is a rare gift among
Men….I'm glad to welcome this book into the community of poets. This book has a "lived life" in it.

Robert Bly, author of The Night Abraham Called to the Stars

Every poem in this powerfully physical first book honors both light and darkness, life and death, the visible world and the invisible.
Thomas Smith, author of The Dark Indigo Current

SNOW HAS FALLEN

 

Young and Yata are soulful outlaws giving away treasure from the Temple.  This CD is absolutely superb-My Heart is Your Home is going to become the anthem of some kind of new movement just stirring in the land. There is something new happening here, I sense trouble. Best record of 2008 I'll wager.

THE SPECIAL LOVE
2003

BROADSIDE

Handset and Printed on Kititaka Rice Paper
by Scott King of Red Dragonfly Press


Timothy Young's version of Mohiudin Ibn El-Arabi's 13th Century Poem which honors the Divine Feminine:

As a full moon appears from the night
so her face appears amid tresses.

From sorrow comes the sense of her,
eyes shedding tears on a cheek,

like the black narcissus weeping onto a rose.Mere beautiful women are silenced,

So overwhelming is her fairness.
Even to think of her harms her subtlety.

Thought is too coarse for knowing her
for her fleeting wonder eludes thinking.

If this is so, how can such a clumsy organ
as the eye correctly see her?

She's beyond the rainbow of seeing.
Cease these attempts. Such trying is futile.

Yet if someone seeking her lowers his aspirations
to feel ordinary love, there are always others

Who continue through the night,
across the sea, with eyes longing for her.
