In today's culture, the word Maya is linked to the year 2012 misconception or not. In Maya in Motion, author Fredrik Zander presents poetry that toys with the Maya calendar. He attempts to strike at the very core of Maya, examining it and questioning it the true meaning of the predictions based upon the calendar. Lyrical in nature, some of the poems from this collection have also been conceived as song lyrics for modern music. Many questions are posed and answered in these poems, from the title inquiry of Could There Be Tomorrow? to the madness of Grandeur? Zander also considers the part that religion plays in today's world, from Hindu to Buddhism to modern-day Christianity. Maya in Motion explores the various ideas that permeate our culture regarding the Maya, religion, and other important topics as we approach the end of 2012.

All the clockworks and the chimesTransgressed by nature’s grace …Can the bee so humbly beIn Mayan lands; no trace?
