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

Roger Housden gives public recitals of ecstatic poetry from the world’s great literary and spiritual traditions. He lives in Northern California with his wife, Maria.
