It has been a long time in the making but now the illustrated poems of David Stuart Ryan are being made available, just as they were created on a year long overland journey to India and then return to London. The poems and original illustrations in vivid entrancing colours reveal the full magic and mystery of the East as you join the poet on his travels to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Kashmir, Varanasi, Bihar, Mumbai and Goa in India. The 120 pictures in the book bring the poems unforgettably alive as you visit the strange and mysterious places the poet selects to set down in the book which accompanies him, and which is faithfully reproduced now using the latest computer technologies. 'The Sphere of the Moon Goddess' is your introduction to 'The Seven Worlds' that this US prize-winning poet reveals in the course of his travels. 'The Sphere of the Moon Goddess' begins a journey that will take you into the mysteries of life, not least from the influences of India which permeate this first book in 'The Seven Worlds'. Extraordinary discoveries await you.
