Reseña del editor:

The Day Barque is a review of poetry, prose and works of art exploring the age-old quest for the divinity within. It focuses on the moment-to-moment struggle to connect with that which is timeless and eternal while being bound by time in an earthly body.

The Day Barque is published bi-annually by the Apollo Poetry Society in the foothills of Northern California. The Day Barque contains poems, stories, paintings, drawings, and other works of art from contributors worldwide, all of whom are actively involved in the effort of being present, also known as self-remembering, mindfulness, self-inquiry, prayer of the heart, and know thyself, among many other names.

Our central theme—the journey of the seeker to awaken from sleep—is that at the heart of all the world's great traditions, including Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Jewish, Sufi, Egyptian, Mesoamerican, Stoic, Platonic, Non-Dualist, the Fourth Way, as well as the principal subject of the world’s epics, myths, and fairy tales. In this third issue (Volume 2 - Number 2), we feature contributions from poets, writers, and artists from Rome, Athens, Moscow, Istanbul, London, Prague, Ahmedabad, Cairo, and Apollo, California.

Here is a poem by Agnes Cartry from this issue:

BE STILL, SAYS GOETHE

You are proceeding, says he with a subtle wry smile.
The Universe is wise: You asked for poetry
et voilà, el poeta et al.
Encompass more, not less,
I married the flower girl
And loved my poetess.
The shape of the rose
Delicately unfolds as the petals unfurl.
The fragrance matures, reaches your senses,
And you know.
Be still in your wonder.
Do not rush, little girl, do not rush.
