THOUSAND YEARS IN THE BODY A NOVEL of LOVE & TRANSCENDENCE In a radically new expression of the romance novel, A THOUSAND YEARS IN THE BODY, a luminous spirit is conjured forth in blood and flesh by the author, speaking and manifesting as Poetry herself. Together they travel the world of relationships, dreamscapes, conflicts, and passions, both between themselves and with remarkable others. Poetry's soul at times appears as maiden, mother, and crone; at others as both intimate supportive ally and world-weary critic. Beauty and consciousness along with science itself are the battlefields on which they and others, historical and more mysterious, work out their destiny. At the end the reader is swept into a stunning new vision of reality. Poetry herself is the next story demanding to be written; a living force carrying her own momentum; a satellite, freed of earth and gravity, gliding gracefully into the distance.
What the scholars of dreaming and consciousness say
"In Bynum's lyrical novel, a man calls out to his lady Poetry, tracing the shape of their love across infinite landscapes of time, memory, and imagination. His voice rises and falls in a fever dream of longing, invoking past lives, future visions and the deep currents of history that bind them. Eloquent prose draws the reader into their journey, such that one is not sure if one is going to comeback...or wishes to." Deirdre Barrett, Ph.D., Harvard University, Editor, The Journal of DREAMING, Author, The Committee of Sleep, and Trauma and Dreams
"Profound and profane...He takes his readers on a ride down the river of a cosmic love story, controlled by the gestalt of poetry... a window into the deepest of his muse's secrets; his teacher of the mysteries of multi-spiritual dreams, her relationships with death, Buddha, and everything else. Essentially you will journey with poetry throughout the narrator's continually morphing lucid dreamscape."
Angel K. Morgan, Ph.D., Past President, the International Association for the Study of Dreams, Professor, Institute of Transpersonal Psychology of Sophia University, Author of Dreamer's Powerful Tiger What the poets have said before
"Bynum envisions an elastic intersection between consciousness and the cosmos...a synchrony of spine and stars, where earth and heaven...collapse into wonderous landscapes that go on forever." Deborah Gorlin, BODILY COURSE, and THE LIFE OF THE GARMENT.
"There are juxtapositions that may disorient. There are verbs and adjectives never before encountered. The journey is mysterious and demanding. The experience will leave you breathless." Howie Faerstein, Dreaming in the Rain
"In dreams of a collective consciousness he seeks to heal, speaking to our shared primordial African Origins and psychospiritual oneness. April Ossmann, WE, and Anxious Music
