East and West meet in a new synthesis of a global vision of humankind—ranging over classic literature, ancient and modern, both Western and non-Western, from the dilemmas of modernity in Yeats, Eliot, Milosz, Bellow, Dostoevsky, to Lu Xun, Tamura Ryuichi, Kenzaburo Oe, Naguib Mahfouz, R. K. Narayan, among others, from mimesis and deconstruction to the United Nations, with extensive essays on Chinese, Japanese, and South-Asian literature. Glaysher invokes a global vision beyond the prevailing conceptions of life and literature that have become firmly entrenched in contemporary world culture. The New York Review of Books

ISBN-10: 0967042178. Hardcover. Reverberations. 71 pages. Earthrise Press, 2002. $21.95. Bookstore orders through Baker & Taylor (back order). Moving beyond Postmodernism, Peter Marsh, an academic philosopher, weighs modern life in a conversation with his friend, David Emerson, a businessman. Brought together after long separation by the brutal murder of Mary, Peter’s wife, a time of devastating loss and crisis, their friendship inspires a dark night of the soul, during which Peter’s meditations range over several hundred years of philosophy, politics, religion, social change, the dilemmas of existence, evoking a vision of the complexities of the 21st Century, the United Nations, and global governance.

Into the Ruins: Poems.

ISBN: 0967042127. Hardcover. Preface. 73 pages. Earthrise Press, 1999. $19.95. Bookstore orders through Baker & Taylor (back order). Into the Ruins confronts much of the human experience left out of the balance by postmodern poetry, often compared to the Alexandrians and the Neoterics, when writers similarly concentrated on the minor themes of personal life, while ignoring the challenging experience of the public realm. Suffused with a tragic global vision, Into the Ruins has its gaze fixed firmly on the 21st Century.

Crow Hunting: Songs of Innocence.

Preface. Earthrise Press, 2010. 26 pages. $2.99. Kindle and ePub, coming soon.

An eChapbook of nine poems written after such mystic poets as George Herbert, Henry Vaughan, Blake, Bryant, Emerson, Basho, Hafez, Attar, Rumi, and Tagore.

From the Preface: "There are times in life that in order to move forward we must look backward. And so I found myself thinking again of Crow Hunting, as I began writing an epic poem, and of John Milton’s words, “Long choosing, and beginning late.”

". . . 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."

Letters from the American Desert: Signposts of a Journey, A Vision.

ISBN: 9780967042114. 0967042119. Hardcover. Preface. Earthrise Press, 2008. 172 pages. $19.99. Available online or order through any bookstore. Also available as a Kindle or Mobipocket eBook or on other eBook sites.

In Letters from the American Desert, Glaysher reflects on the cultural, political, and religious history of Western and non-Western civilizations, pondering the dilemmas of postmodernity. Fully cognizant of the relativism and nihilism of modern life, Glaysher finds a deeper meaning and purpose for the individual and the world community in the writings and global vision of Baha’u’llah, as expressed in the Reform Bahai Faith. Confronting the antinomies of the soul, grounded in the dialectic, Glaysher charts a path beyond the postmodern desert. Alluding to Martin Luther and W. B. Yeats at All Souls Chapel, Glaysher meditates on the universal, moderate form of the Bahai Teachings as interpreted by Abdul-Baha, Baha’u’llah’s son, who had spoken throughout the West in Europe, England, and the United States from 1911 to 1913. Abdul-Baha’s message of the oneness of God, all religions, and humankind holds out a new hope and vision for a world in spiritual and global crisis. Far from a theocracy, the Reform Bahai Faith envisions a modest separation of church and state as the will of God, in harmony and balance with universal peace, in a global age of pluralism, where religion is the distinctive mark of the individual, not of collective identity.

The Universal Principles of the Reform Bahai Faith collects many of the early writings of Baha’u’llah and Abdul-Baha, published in the West, seeking to restore and preserve their vision of the oneness of God, humanity, and all religions.

In addition to all of the 1912 Universal Principles of the Bahai Movement, the book includes Baha’u’llah’s Arabic Hidden Words, selections known as the Spirit of the Age, an address by Abdul-Baha at the Friends’ Meeting House in London in 1913, and many Bahai prayers for community and individual worship and meditation.
