Within the Temple of the Soul is the first volume of poems by an anthroposophic poet.
Metropolis Run
Shine-face and dirty dove and doggy too,
Where I walked by the trees and river view,
There the sun rose and the moon did reflect her.
Smokestack, blackjack, crack and buggy,
Roller blades and Ice Capades,
And downtown humming with artists and artisans
And there, across the gilded bridge, to heaven.
Matthew R. A. Bingham was born in Washington, D.C., in 1970 and spent his formative years in Texas, England, Canada, and southern New York State. He attended several Waldorf schools and, in 1992, graduated from the University of Colorado (Boulder) with a B.A. in anthropology. During postgraduate studies in Europe, Matthew began to struggle with schizophrenia and returned to the U.S., where he redirected his career and creative energies toward writing poetry. His poetry is influenced strongly by Walt Whitman and addresses matters of nature in America and spiritual realities. Matthew lives in West Hartford, Connecticut. See all titles by this author |
