Life's Journey Poetry and Thoughts is a collection of poems, thoughts, art illustration accompanied by photos. The goal of this book is to uplift, motivate and inspire.

Amanda is a registered nurse and spiritual healer. One morning, she was captured by the many colours surrounding her garden at the start of a day, signaling the start of her healing journey. She has been so inspired by her friends and family, who have touched her life and expressed positive thoughts on her darkest days that she is passing along her own inspiration in the form of Life's Journey, a collection of poetry that has been inspired by her own experiences. "Wherever you are along your own journey or whatever experiences you've had in life, there will hopefully be something for you in this book. If it helps or inspires only one person to look at the positive side, I have achieved my biggest wish," says Amanda. Life's Journey will appeal to fans of poetry and those interested in subjects of personal growth and life experience, as the book deals with matters of love, loss and much more.

Elisabeth Tonnard's In This Dark Wood is a study of urban alienation in America. In a haunting, modern-gothic style, it pairs images of people walking alone in nighttime city streets with 90 different English translations, collected by Tonnard, of the famous first lines of Dante's Inferno: "Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita / mi ritrovai per una selva oscura / ché la diritta via era smarrita." ("In the middle of the journey of our life / I found myself in a dark wood / for the straight way was lost"). The images were selected from the Joseph Selle collection at the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester, New York, which contains over a million negatives from a company of street photographers who worked in San Francisco from the 1940s to the 70s. This edition is a reprint of a work originally self-published in 2008.

Poems inspired by God's love.

These poems reflect life's journey and choosing the right path, persevering to the end in peace and joy with the grace of God.

Great poetry calls into question everything. It dares us to break free from the safe strategies of the cautious mind. It opens us to pain and joy and delight. It amazes, startles, pierces, and transforms us. It can lead to communion and grace. Through the voices of ten inspiring poets and his own reflections, the author of Sacred America shows how poetry illuminates the eternal feelings and desires that stir the human heart and soul. These poems explore such universal themes as the awakening of wonder, the longing for love, the wisdom of dreams, and the courage required to live an authentic life. In thoughtful commentary on each work, Housden offers glimpses into his personal spiritual journey and invites readers to contemplate the significance of the poet's message in their own lives. In Ten Poems to Change Your Life, Roger Housden shows how these astonishing poems can inspire you to live what you always knew in your bones but never had the words for.
