Description
The poetry of Further Up and Further In continues to advance the never-ending story of one man's ongoing spiritual journey, his pilgrimage through a variety of the soi dissant and infamous stages of life to, if all goes according to plan (and let's not beat around the bush here), God. Or what, as they say in the Christian tradition within which Mr. Marks works, sometimes playfully, sometimes not so playfully, sometimes with what can only be called a metaphysical urgency and near panic, the unitary vision of God. As Browning said, " a man's reach should exceed his grasp/ or what's a heaven for"? Please wish him every success in his endeavours.
