Native Seeds

from Mike Mahoney

Ninety-three poems in three sections of thirty-one each, mostly written in a three week span from September 17th to October 4th, 2011, after a dream telling me of their coming.
112 pages.

"Read aloud in sequence the three sections give off a spacious earthy spiritual glow and invocation transformative energy and pulse. Like 'Emergence', they radiate a youth's noble heartmind, the starrynightsky inside and out."
- ANTLER, author of "Factory", poet laureate of Milwaukee (2002-2004), and "one of Whitman's poets and orators to come." - Allen Ginsberg


"these small songs, pulsing with transformative earth spirit energy, were shown to me in a dream before they arrived on paper. one night in the middle of september 2011, i vision'd i was on a beach at night with the tides rolling in. a shadow figure came near holding a large red 3-ring binder of my life's work and flipped open to the mid-beginning or so, and showed me this next batch of poems - how they'd look and sound; how they'd be shaped and formed in three sections of thirty-one poems each; what they'd be about and the lessons contained within - and without speaking told me that for the next two to three weeks they'd be arriving, so i'd better keep by my side a pen and notebook or else i'd miss them. over the next seventeen days, (september 17th to october 4th), the bulk of them arrived, like a great flock of birds finally reaching their destination after a grueling cosmic journey, with a few coming late i realized, and even a couple who arrived early that i hadn't payed much attention to other than brief second glances wondering where they came from, because of then being before the muse-sent dream informing me of their coming. this experience cemented in me the reality of a living muse or ancient presence of spirit guiding me, reaching out to me, and bearing a special message: this sacred energy is none other than that of life, flowing through and connecting us all, each a part of this interweaving web of forms, this mesh of existence teeming with awareness, and what's more - wonder . . ."
