Bestselling author and poet Roger Housden recites Rainer Maria Rilke’s “Sonnet to Orpheus Pt. 2, XII.”
—–
Roger Housden talks about “Ten Poems to Change Your Life Again and Again.” Housden examines the simple joys in life while exploring love, loss, and the importance of embracing change. Through his appreciation of poetry, Housden inspires each of us to cherish life, treasure the world, and admire the clear beauty of words. He highlights the magic of poetry, and encourages readers to embrace a poem’s words and feel their meaning. In doing so, Housden shows how poetry enables each of us to see the beauty of life and better understand not only the world around us, but also the world within us. Housden’s choice of poems and his radiant essays provide an elegant and accessible passage into the sometimes daunting world of our truest emotions. Provocative and thought-provoking, Ten Poems to Change Your Life Again and Again is a book you will turn to again and again. – Book Passage

im bored in the summer and need something to occupy me. what are some deep meaningful good books or poetry books that i should read. think along the lines of american beauty, fight club, brokeback mountain etc.
Go Ask Alice by Anonymous – the true diary of one girl’s descent into the world of drugs, sex and much more.
Cut by Patricia McKormick – a well researched tale about a girl who is sent to a psychiatric unit called "Sea Pines" because of her self-harming and does not speak.

These are all meaningful books.

Waterstones Censorship; Christlams stumping their feet.
A poet has been forced to launch his new collection in the street after a bookstore cancelled the event because of a campaign by Christian activists.
Patrick Jones was due to sign copies at Waterstone’s in Cardiff but the shop cancelled the event at the last moment.
Christian Voice said the book was “obscene and blasphemous” and called on the chain to remove copies from stores.
The company said it was not a censor but felt it was “prudent” to cancel the event because of its duty to customers.
Darkness is Where the Stars Are is a collection of 30 to 40 poems from the Welsh publishers, Cinnamon Press.
Mr Jones, the brother of Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers, had been expecting to launch the book at the Cardiff Hayes branch of Waterstone’s on Wednesday night.
But a few hours before, the poet from Blackwood in Caerphilly county, was contacted by the company to tell him the event had been cancelled “to avoid potential disruption to our store”.
Mr Jones said he was not going to be “beaten down” by religious activists, and signed copies for a small group of people in the street.
“I’m really proud of this book and I’m really sickened.
“There shouldn’t be censorship of this sort – it doesn’t set out to be offensive.”
