When we asked
Paul Goldman if our city was ripe with subject matter for his poetry, he answered: "KC is seen by many around the country as the heart of the dove, a place teeming with spiritual energy. This could explain the diverse groups of people exploring personal and planetary awakening." All right, then. Drawing inspiration from sages and mystics such as Jalal ad-Din Rumi, Hafez and Tukaram, Goldman has written a collection of ecstatic poems called
Journey Into Oneness. It's available for purchase at the Barnes & Noble on the Plaza (420 West 47th Street, 816-753-1313), where Goldman is set for his book signing at 7 p.m. You might recognize Goldman as the former proprietor of Westport's Stone Spirit Lodge. That retail space is gone, but the good vibes still flow on the page. For more information, see
