The Lure of Mystery

Meer over het boek

TURIYA: A Collection of Wordizms is a work of art that mixes media in the written and visual form. Turiya is the 4th and highest level of human consciousness one can obtain. When you reach Turiya you have the ability to take an ideal for it's true value without attaching it to anything else. The ideal stands alone. It is a state of pure consciousness. TURIYA: A Collection of Wordizms makes a statement about just how far we have come as a community of color in America. The book has two sections 1. Heads of Lettuce Speak: short stories 2. Ears of Corn Hear This: poetry. The poems are universal and deal with issues that all human beings face despite their origins. The artwork for each section cover page uses Adinkra symbols that have powerful meanings. There are also photos and sketches included throughout the book. The five short stories in this work of art deal with issues people of color in America have faced throughout time. What is important here is to remember the historical value of challenges people of color have faced in our uphill battle for equality. Even amongst ourselves.
