“These poems are teaching poems! They are revelations and explorations of layers of spirit and earth that we all encounter all the time. The words dance while thoughts, feelings, and experiences are mulled over and reflected upon. They teach me to probe more deeply. They are words that point to the inner/outer space beyond the words.”

—Jill (Chandralekha) Forger, MAT, LMT, Assistant Director of Student Engagement, Statistics Department, MA Program, Columbia University, yoga & meditation teacher, and Shiva-Process facilitator

“Larry Schwartz is a remarkable poet. His work is always in-depth, meaningful, evocative, expressive, filled with feeling, and with a message worth hearing over and again.”

—Rev. Dr. Jon Mundy, author of What is Mysticism?  Mysticism and Miracles, among many others, lecturer, and Publisher of Miracles Magazine

“I love and appreciate the poetry within this book. It’s the courageous musings of a soul through the illusion of separation toward the absolute knowing of Oneness. There is much beauty and truth within this poetry that weds the clarity of logic with the depth of spiritual insight.”

—Rev. Lynne R. Matous, MA, Interfaith Minister, editor to Rev. Dr. Jon Mundy,
former Writing Instructor, University of Miami & Palm Beach Community College

Poetic License: Reflections and Renderings is a gift to the universe. Larry has shared a few poems with me in the past but this collection is a feast! I’ve known him for years as a serious socially-involved intellectual on a path of spiritual discovery. But in this collection, I met another side of him: the poet who does not describe or explain  the truth, but more honestly alludes to it. If poetry is a way of speaking beyond words, Larry is a master,.
There is no seraphic spiritual sentiment but rather a gutsy spirituality embedded in social tragedies, tender love, societal conflict, spiritual seeking, and the ecumenical search for an elusive truth. Like spiritual compasses, Larry’s poems are not the destination, but they point a way forward.”

—Daniel S. Benveniste, PhD, Psychoanalyst, former Director of two training programs for doctoral-level psychology students, author of The Interwoven Lives of Sigmund, Anna and W. Ernest Freud
