Crystallizations: 20 Works by Bahá'í Artists

Edited by Ross Woodman. A vivid collection of poetry, paintings, essays, drama, and stories by Bahá'ís that represents to some degree the many facets of the Bahá'í community. Included are a eulogy to Bahá'u'lláh's daughter commissioned by Shoghi Effendi; a poetic account of pilgrimage to Haifa; essays on the relationship between art and spirituality, and the Bahá'í administrative order and spirituality; poetic and dramatic accounts of the lives of early Bahá'ís; and myriad images of the thoughts and feelings that have shaped the lives both of the artists represented and of their subjects. Some works are new , while other works log out of print have been sought after for decades.
