This book is a feast for the nose! Transports of Delight is a celebration through verse of man's extraordinary sensory world of smell, connecting East and West. Here is a fascinating and delightful anthology, drawn from around the world and across the millennia, capturing a kaleidoscope of emotions, moods and memories, all of which are energized and enhanced by smells of every kind - 'smells which match our moods, promote our passions, provoke a sense of awe in the natural world around us, and bring us closer to our gods'. The anthology, containing over a hundred poems and excerpts from literature including The Teachings of the Buddha and Ben Johnson's intoxicating 'Drink to me only with thine eyes' (Ode to Celia), takes the reader from Japan to China, Tibet and the East Indies, on to India and the Levant, then to Europe and finally to the Americas. Transports of Delight will certainly help transport and delight the reader to another level of sensory pleasure - far removed from today's audio-visual world of ipods, televisions, CDs and DVDs!
