Items related to Ordinary Mornings of a Coliseum
The New York Times called Norman Dubie “one of our premier poets,” and his new book proves the point. This “broken fantasia” addresses humankind’s engagement with spiritual practice. Backdropped by politics and religion, Dubie searches for independent, individual meaning through the lives of eccentric and visionary holy men such as Meister Eckhart, Rumi, the Tibetan Tashi Lama, the mathematician Ramanujan, Michel de Nostradam and the Egyptian recluse, Cyril. “I adore how they are all ignoring us,” Dubie writes, “with an absolute genius-like snoring.”
Norman Dubie, a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, is a Regents’ professor at Arizona State University and the author of 18 books of poetry. His work has been translated into 30 languages.

About the Author:
Norman Dubie, author of twenty books of poetry, is a Regents' professor at Arizona State University. A practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism whose work has been translated into thirty languages, Dubie received the PEN Center USA Literary Award for The Mercy Seat: Collected and New Poems.
From Booklist:
To read Dubie's newest work is to be catapulted into a realm of confounding cosmic visions, and to wander a seared landscape of bones, ash, snow, offal, and blood, where gods dream and people dream of gods, where saints are martyred, prisoners tortured, rulers fall, priests pray, lions cough, enormous stone Buddhas are dynamited, and fiery deities wield apocalyptic powers. Stoked by the mysticism of Rumi, Meister Eckhart, and the mathematician Ramanujan, and steeped in Buddhist teachings, ancient Roman history, and the bad news out of Afghanistan and Iraq, Dubie illuminates the great chain of being that links those killed today in war and insurrection with those who lost their lives in the uprisings and persecutions of the past, and those who sought a spiritual way in the days of Buddha with those who continue to follow the path in the nuclear age. Dubie's poems are unmatched in their incandescent imaginings, gorgeous language, and fearless tracking of the inexorably turning wheel of existence. Donna Seaman
