In today’s world it is deceptively easy to lose sight of our direction and the things that matter and give us joy. This collection of ten poems, and Roger Housden’s reflections on them, urge readers to stand once and for all, right now, in the heart of their own life.
Ten Poems to Set You Free brings together the voices of Thomas Merton, David Whyte, the Basque poet Miguel de Unamuno, Anna Swir from Poland, Stanley Kunitz, the Greek poet C. P. Cavafy, and Jane Hirshfield, as well as three of Housden’s favorites, Rumi, Mary Oliver, and Naomi Shihab Nye, along with his luminous accompanying essays on the poems that illustrate how to integrate the poets’ truth into daily life.
