In it, Roger Housden offers us poems on life and death, happiness, seeing ourselves in relation to the world, and, of course, the ineffable--the things that really matter when the chips are down. He describes these passionate poems as \"bread for the soul and fire for the spirit.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe poets Housden has chosen are Billy Collins, Hayden Carruth, Dorianne Laux, James Wright, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Mary Oliver from the United States, D. H. Lawrence and John Keats from England, Rainer Maria Rilke from Germany, Fleur Adcock from New Zealand, and Seng-Ts'an from sixth-century China. And yes, that adds up to eleven, not ten. Housden decided to include a bonus poem for his faithful readers in this, the final volume of the series. As before, Housden's luminous essays provide an elegant and easy passage into the sometimes daunting world of poetry, enabling readers to feel that in him they have found a trusted guide and mentor.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Harmony","offers":[{"title":"Ten Poems to Last a Lifetime | Roger Housden | Hardcover | 9781400051137 | Used: Like New | Self-Help 1626892","offer_id":48432085368984,"sku":"1626892","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61G058GcYUL.jpg?v=1773353344","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/ten-poems-to-last-a-lifetime","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
