The Calling

"The Calling" addresses issues regarding the form and substance of ideation, as well as the source of thought as the process of connectivity and juxtaposition leads to the poetic leap. It is an adventure into the unknown where mind leaves the here and now for the province of a parabola of time. There is a meaningful vision of redeeming time past through a portal from a two-dimensional reality to a vertical column of time as time future erases time present.

Dean C. Gardner, author of postmodern books, studied with Dr. Campbell Tatham, a phenomenologist, at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee for eight years, endowing him with the discipline to probe the unknown. Another foundation for his books is the work of traditional haiku poets, including Basho, Bucson and Issa - which led to Gardner's understanding of the Zen experience as the poetic leap in Western literature. Gardner is a Christian phenomenologist.
