REVIEW OF PAUL GOLDMAN’S WILD JOY RELEASED
by
Mark Scheel
A letting go of the “dogmatic’ old, a reaching forth to embrace the “spiritual new- a tsunami of the soul is sweeping over humankind, and Paul Goldman with his Sufistic voice is there, fully in the vanguard, helping to define and shape its Divine Message of love, healing and joy. The appearance of his new CD, Wild Joy Released: The Ecstatic Poetry of Paul Goldman, a true gift of vision and love from the heart, constitutes a signature event for the spiritually-aware community. Consisting of 30 individual poems recited by Goldman to the soft accompaniment of Tom Jacobs’ guitar, the collection transports the listener beyond the bounds of moment to a place of peace and harmony and hope. A perfect vehicle for escaping the bustle of the here and now, a soothing background for contemplative meditation.
The selection “Lost Himself in Love” declares, ” Each day, a fresh bite of life revealed- as pure/as a peach-faced mango tasted that first time/…Each moment is love, each breath is love…” So it is, woven thematically throughout Goldman’s verses, that timeless message of the ages reminding us the Divine Source of our whole being is but “pure love.” And with that recognition comes the immediate awareness that, “…Divine Mother,/in your love and grace, we are each one/birthed anew day by glorious day.”
Vern Barnet, “Faiths and Beliefs” columnist for The Kansas City Star, has written of Goldman’s poetry: “The wild, holy energy within [Goldman's work] can burst forth only from a ‘man who has lost himself in love’, such as Rumi and other seers, whose poetry [Goldman's verse] now joins.” I would concur wholeheartedly with Mr. Barnet’s assessment. This cherished listening experience is a keeper.
