{"product_id":"9781533608321","title":"The Transfiguration Cycle","description":"The idea for The Transfiguration Cycle first came to me as I was watching (Jazz-bass-superstar) Esperanza Spalding perform her concept piece 'Emily's D+Evolution' in the Shepherd's Bush Empire. Full of inspiration at this deep-dope multi-song concept journey unfolding before me, I started to wonder how I could do such a thing in the form of written poetry - would it be possible to create a book that acted like a written concept album? What emerged was this collection, which uses verse, story, graphic design, music and poet-commentary to travel the journey of The Transfiguration Cycle. It's a journey about self-discovery, or rather the discovery of the true self - the (often hidden) greatness and beauty that lies deep in the heart of a person. The collection is massively influenced by comic book culture - notably that of the Superhero comic - and this acts as the metaphor and vessel in which I tell the story of Transfiguration. It's a collection that's deeply autobiographical and intimate; it speaks of a journey I've been travelling myself for the last few years; it asks questions that dwell furtive in the soul-level of being. I wanted to make something that questioned the boundaries of my craft, whilst giving space to the simple beauty of poetical expression. The Transfiguration Cycle is my offering on this front - an invitation to journey and dwell in the world of Transfiguration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eSh'maya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJul 27, 2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e120 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1533608326\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781533608321\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50371465249073,"sku":"9781533608321","price":13.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781533608321__61838.jpg?v=1732599879","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781533608321","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
