Poetic Matrix Press kicked off the publication of a third book by RaynRoberts with readings in Seattle in August 2006. Joining him were well known poets Brandon Cesmat, Tomas Gayton and Poetic Matrix publisher, John Peterson. They also created a CD which was recorded by veteran poet of the Seattle scene, J. Glenn Evans. The CD will be heard on public radio in Washington and syndicated for national shows later in 2006. "Of One and Many Worlds" has been well recieved by many already. Paul Dolinsky, editor of The Golden Lantern writes, "This collection covers a wide expanse of topics from metaphysical issues about the nature of existence, to suffering, right action, aesthetic experience and how we live our everyday lives. Intellectual honesty, even skepticism, are important parts of the volume. The poet acknowledges that there are ultimate questions, but denies that there are final answers that could be given by any final authority. We see his keen eye for the beauty of nature and change within nature, and we can watch his keen nose at work, close to nature, sniffing out the joys and suffering of everyday living."
Lesley Synge, author of "Organic Sister" compares Roberts to a prophet, "...subtle/rude, elated/defeated, but always accessible and wise, his words call complacent silence to a duel." "Roberts takes us on a breathtaking journey of the soul, connected to this earth, but willing to explore other dimensions. This is a book worth keeping!" writes Ursula Gibson, poet laureate of Sunland-Tujunga, California.
The leading expert on Shaminism in Korea, David Mason, author of "Spirit of the Mountain" says "Rayn Roberts sees the spiritual dilemmas and opportunities of Korea with clear eyes, getting just the right words about them on paper."
