This new volume from Roger Housden features a few of the same poets as his extraordinarily moving Ten Poems to Change Your Life, such as Mary Oliver and Pablo Neruda, along with contributions from Sharon Olds, Wislawa Szymborska, Czeslaw Milosz, Denise Levertov, and others. Any one of the ten poems and, indeed, any one of Housden s reflections on them, can open, gladden, or pierce your heart. \u003cbr\u003eThrough the voices of these ten inspiring poets, and through illustrations from his own life, Housden expresses the tenderness, beauty, joys, and sorrows of love, the presence of which, more than anything else, gives human existence its meaning. \u003cbr\u003eAs Housden says in his eloquent introduction, Great poetry happens when the mind is looking the other way and words fall from the sky to shape a moment that would normally be untranslatable. . . . When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be. \"\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Ten Poems to Open Your Heart | Roger Housden | Hardcover | 9781400045631 | Used: Very Good | Poetry 1699071","offer_id":50822002278658,"sku":"1699071","price":21.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/41cExlNhmUL.jpg?v=1792559394","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/ten-poems-to-open-your-heart-1","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
