http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003D7KD2M“So I sought in words of poetry to intimate to an age of doctrinaire nihilism that God still exists, calls us always, if only we will pray and listen to Her.” – Preface.
An eChapbook of nine poems written after such mystic poets as Blake, Emerson, Basho, Hafez, Attar, Rumi, and Tagore.
Frederick Glaysher studied writing with the poet Robert Hayden and edited both Hayden's Collected Prose (University of Michigan Press) and his Collected Poems (Liveright). He holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree from the University of Michigan, the latter in English. At the college and university level, he taught American and non-Western literature, world religions, etc., for ten years.
Glaysher lived for more than fifteen years outside Michigan—in Japan, where he taught at Gunma University in Maebashi; in Arizona, on the Colorado River Indian Tribes Reservation, site of one of the largest internment camps for Japanese-Americans during WWII; in Illinois, on the central farmlands and on the Mississippi; ultimately returning to his suburban hometown of Rochester. A Fulbright-Hays scholar to China in 1994, he studied at Beijing University, the Buddhist Mogao Caves on the old Silk Road, and elsewhere in China, including Hong Kong and the Academia Sinica in Taiwan. Since 1994 he has resided again in Michigan, in Rochester and Oakland Township.
While a National Endowment for the Humanities scholar in 1995 on India, he further explored the conflicts between the traditional regional civilizations of Islamic and Hindu cultures and modernity. he has been an outspoken advocate of the United Nations and was an accredited participant at the UN Millennium Forum (2000).
