Full Title: Spirit Lessons with Robert Lax: Poet, Peacemaker Sage by Steve Theodore Georgiou

Rating: 4/5

Back Cover Snippet: ‘…The sage turns out to be Robert Lax, a major minimalist poet and close friend of Thomas Merton, the famed Trappist monk, and Ad Reinhardt, the Abstract Expressionist.’

Comments: I would give this book a 5/5 score, but a number of times during the reading I was worn out by the author being such a super fan boy. Robert Lax would say one thing, and the author would over-expand and stretch out the response with further possible meanings. The poems and responses given strictly by Robert Lax are definitely worth checking out. Next I will try to find Robert’s famous piece ‘The Circus of the Sun‘.

I like how he has a page in the Hermitary, resources and reflections on hermits and solitude.
