In the Gardens of God Stephan Attia

'In the Gardens of God' is a unique collection of poetry which symbolizes the return of the poet to the source of all creation. Despite the harsh influences of the physical reality the poet excels owing to his devotion to the love of life. Furthermore, the poet managed to overcome temptation owing to the gift of poetry. His realization of the truth was the ray of the new dawn for mankind. This collection is a mirror of the ordeal in which the poet was pressed down to the extreme point of madness. He had to choose between the world of man and the world of God; A choice which was bound to either lead the poet to self destruction or to lead posterity to salvation. Freedom of the human spirit or the demise it occupied the poet's inner world. To conform to the world of man would mean spiritual death whereas to return to God would mean an everlasting life for the human spirit.
