Gary Rosenthal, Poet/Author

& visionary witness to these challenging times
- an epoch unlike any other

Herein, you'll find evocative explorations of the Psychological, Mythic, and Political facets of an increasingly visible, dystopian landscape. Yet beneath the turbulent, angst-filled surfaces - an invisible, yet expansive Peace remains. Accessing the stressless discernment of that depth is the evolutionary task for all of us now.

“Gary Rosenthal is a modern-day bard—a poet, wise person, psychotherapist—all rolled into one.”
—Jack Canfield, co-author of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series

Gary Rosenthal is a poet and writer of nonfiction prose. While these are separate disciplines, what is distinctive about how he approaches them is that the writing arises from a seldom explored intersection where four avenues of vision meet: the psychological, the mythic, the historical/political, and the spiritually nondual.

 Re-Visioning Narcissism: 
Healing Heresies for Polarized Times

Greek poets were writing about narcissism over 2000 years ago. They gave us the myth of Narcissus, from which narcissism was first named. Yet like an underreported, contagious virus, it has spread into all the nooks and crannies of our culture, even its White House. And when American psychiatry's official manual estimates that its prevalence in Americans could be as low as zero percent, it should be evident that narcissism is being narrowly conceived. And hence, badly in need of a "re-visioning."  The survival of American democracy—and the fate of our species—may depend on it.
