Collected Tryptagonal Poetry

In 2005, author and poet John Major Jenkins developed a six-line / three-rhyme poetic form that he calls "Tryptagonals." Inspired by his studies in Persian mysticism and philosophy, his poems convey mystical teachings and philosophical mysteries. To set the poems, he developed back stories, alternative histories, revolving around an 11th-century Persian poet-philosopher named Djin Maegus jen-Kenzi. The lost books and legacy of this mysterious personage were traced through the centuries, resulting in seven volumes of inter-related poetry-filled stories. These seven volumes comprise "The Tryptagonal Mythos in Seven The Lost Books and Legacy of Djin Mægüs jen-Kenzí." They are Book 1, Sonnets from the Sands; Book 2, From the Wanderer’s Notebooks; Book 3, The Dynasty of the Ink-Blood; Book 4, Legends of the Holy Cross; Book 5, Fountains of A Khayyam-Kenzí Mystery; Book 6, The A 7th-Century Sidgualese Manuscript; Book 7, AyaTryps and Cycle’s End. The entire collection has yet to be published. However, the six-line Tryptagonal poems that are features throughout the seven-volume Mythos are collected here in one volume, augmented by an Introduction, a concordance, various illustrations, a unique writing script called "Sidguallies," and the author's note on his various poetry collections since 1982.
