Ten Poems to Open Your Heart - Softcover

Devoted to the experience of love, this book presents ten poems that can stir in each of us one of the deepest, most powerful sensations known to mankind. Guiding us through the beautifully expressed thoughts of ten individual poets, Housden invites us to explore the full range of love, from the intimately personal, to love for fellow man, for the world and for God. Taking each poem in turn, we follow Housden's personal exploration of its themes as he unlocks the poem's meaning in the context of his own life. From his commentary we are offered an insight into the author's spiritual journey through love, as well as the chance to appreciate the poems themselves.

Roger Housden gives public recitals of poetry from the world's great literary and spiritual traditions. He is the author of nine books, including Sacred America: The emerging spirit of the people, and Travels Through Sacred India. He lives in Northern California with his wife.
