Meher Baba: THE ULTIMATE PIRATE (and the Shanghai of Imagination): A FABLE Large type / large print edition

MEHER BABA: THE ULTIMATE PIRATE A FABLE Revised Second Edition by Paul Smith. This long poem and the poems related to it were composed in 1973 by Paul Smith while translating 'Divan of Hafiz'. The author had read Meher Baba's masterpiece 'God Speaks' that explained everything and in particular, the inner planes of consciousness... of which this is an imagined fable about such a journey. His 'Creative Imagination' at the time was so acute and deep that the journey at times seemed so real that he passed out from the bliss that he was experiencing. Since a child he had always loved pirate movies and to a certain extent in this poem he pays homage to them through the Ultimate Pirate, this time, his Spiritual Master, Meher Baba. Illustration by Oswald Hall. Large Print (16pt) & Large Format (8" x 10") Edition. 163 pages. Comments on Paul Smith's Translation of Hafiz's 'Divan'.

"Superb translations. 99% Hafiz 1% Paul Smith." Ali Akbar Shapurzman, translator in English into Persian and knower of Hafiz's Divan off by heart. "I was very impressed with the beauty of these books." Dr. R. K. Barz. Faculty of Asian Studies, Australian National University.
