A New Global, Universal Vision of Life on this Planet.The Parliament of Poets: An Epic Poem. By Frederick Glaysher."Very readable and intriguingly enjoyable. ...a masterpiece that will stand the test of   time." —Les Merton,  Poetry Cornwall, England. "A great epic poem of startling originality and universal significance."  —Dr. Hans-George Ruprecht, CKCU Literary News, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada. "But possibly even the ambition of these [Odysseus Elytis's The Axion Esti and Derek Walcott's Omeros] is dwarfed by what is attempted here." —Graham Mummery, Amazon UK Review"An impassioned plea on behalf of humanity that reaches down and grabs the human longing for the Awakened Heart. ...a very important book  for our time." —Tina Benson,  Amazon Review, California"Like being enfolded into a glorious, celestial, orchestral song... A worthy literary masterpiece... Amazing, wonderful book." —Julie Clayton, New Consciousness Review"Don't be intimidated by an epic poem. It's really coming back to that image of the storyteller sitting around the campfires of the world, dipping into and weaving the story of humanity, in the most beautiful, mellifluous language." —Miriam Knight, New Consciousness Review CTR Network"Beautiful book." —D
