title: Mystical Delights: Mystical Experiences of Famous Poets (A Frontline Book)
author:  Hilary Huttner 
description: What do William Blake, Emily Bronte, and Pope John Paul II have in common? According to poet Huttner, mystical experience is the common ground that these and other poets from a wide variety of religious traditions share. Huttner arranges her reflections on mysticism and poetry according to themes such as "a doorway to the sublime," "unity," and "awakening." Each chapter contains a number of poems as well as an introduction and commentary. Unfortunately, Huttner's notes and commentary often intrude upon the beauty and power of the poems themselves.
