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.

Ten Poems to Set You Free inspires you to claim the life that is truly yours. In today’s world it is deceptively easy to lose sight of our direction and the things that matter and give us joy. How quickly the days can slip by, the years all gone, and we, at the end of our lives, mourning the life we dreamed of but never lived. These ten poems, and Roger Housden’s reflections on them, urge us to stand once and for all, and now, in the heart of our own life. This volume 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. His luminous essays on the poems show us how to integrate the poets’ truth into our own lives. Roger Housden’s love of poetry and life leaps from every page—so much so that his readers feel they have found a guide and mentor through the extraordinary Ten Poems series. He has opened the eyes and hearts of many, not just to the power of poetry, but to the truth and beauty of the life of the soul. What more can one ask?

Every great poem invites us to step beyond what we know, what we think we can dream or dare. Great poetry is a catalyst for change: a change of mind, a change of heart, a change of life- and yes, over and over, again and again, with each new reading, and each new phase of our journey. That’s why poetry is dangerous. It gives voice to our unspoken dreams; it is a mirror to our own deepest joys, desires, and sorrows. It can tip us over into a new life, into a new way of seeing and being, that a moment ago we might even have had no words for. In this new volume of his Ten Poems series, Roger Housden takes ten great poems and in personal, intimate essays shows how they led him, and can also lead us, into a more deeply lived and examined life. Housden says, “Every one of the poems in this book has struck me a blow, a direct hit, each of them, into the heart of hearts. Every one of them, in its own way, has opened a door for me to go deeper into my own experience, my own longings, my own sorrows and joys, and into the silence that surrounds all of this, all of us, always.”

What is HOPE? What does it mean to you at a personal and intimate level?Is it something that comes to mind when you are Remembering those nights when darkness had overwhelmed you, "when the stars were no longer shinning, when the sky at night was no longer fascinating and when every night turned into a nightmare"? Or is it one proclaiming: I know the Mona Lisa smiles because "where some see darkness, we see a grove for stars"? Maybe all one needs is to adopt the attitude of Trailblazers who don't heed "voices of discouragement" but are "spurred on by hope indestructible." Maybe the trick is to make hope an "antidote" to wipe our Dry Tears and "being insured with dignity," we get "saved an episode of low self-esteem," amid all our struggles. Does it make you "solicit hope in the connection" with your departed (My) Chaperone, or is it a river flowing under The Bridge "with momentum springing from the lofty heights of its birth, the apex from which the mother-spring trickles incessantly, a fountain unyielding"? Or is it "an unknown path we embark" on then later realise that The Road Map Is Not The Road and yet we keep "pressing between rocks, gaining new heights till we reach the top"? Maybe Hope is that which makes us able to endure moments of darkness when "a sun that once shone bright ... had to give way to the darkness" and cause us to remember that "when darkness ceases it brings the light." Or does it all start in the Mind -The Cradle Of Hope, which "brings a new revelation to the fore" and give one's life "a bright new meaning." Maybe it's just a bad case of Lost Hope in which all "one gets and feeds on is endless pain that no amount of money can buy," while "fat cats play with guns as boys with toys," reducing hope to "just a beautiful word to taunt you."This is just a tiny peep into one theme. Imagine the richness of this collection across all TEN themes. Totally worth your while!Voiced In Verses: 10 Themes, 10 Poets, 100 Poems in 100 Days - Season 1, was birthed after one hundred days of interactive poem sharing with one poem being shared on a virtual group platform each day. It is the culmination of a lot of effort and discipline, not only on the part of the poets but also on those who worked behind the scenes, away from the glitz and glamour. To kick start the programme, each poet picked a number from 1-10 and a theme from a list provided. Every poet had to write a poem on each of the ten themes selected. Poet 1: Luyanda Lusiki selected the theme Hope, poet 2: Franklyn T Mathema, Pain and Suffering; poet 3: Tryson Sairai, Substance Abuse; poet 4: Ayanda Valeria Sithole, Love; poet 5: McNeil Chinodakufa, Racism and Injustice; poet 6: Tafara P Sairai, Joy; poet 7: Sibonginkosi P Gumbo, Freedom; poet 8: Ellen Tsitsi Lugube-Maponga, Afrocentrism; poet 9: Victor Masocha, Diseases and Ailments; and poet 10: Charlotte Mathonsi, Domestic Violence.The anthology is arranged in a way that follows the chronological order in which they were shared. The poems are punctuated by a brief biography of the poet who selected the particular theme at the beginning of each ten poem cycle. This book effectively gives the reader a peek into the social issues affecting Southern Africa from the perspective of ten poets with different demographic characteristics. One gets an insider's view from the privileged position of an observer and critic.The book's arrangement makes it easy for one to track their favourite poet across all themes to investigate their style and thought processes' fluidity. By so doing, one can see the effect that the interactive platform progressively had on the style, voice and presentation, among other notable changes during the project's life.The different styles add colour to the reader's experience, with areas of overlap being magnified to emphasise the slight differences in viewpoints. In the same vein, areas of departure or contrasts are magnified to help the reader seek congruency across different points.

The fourth volume in the popular series that began with Ten Poems to Change Your Life, Ten Poems to Last a Lifetime focuses on what it means to be truly human. 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.” The 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.

Ten Poems to Open Your Heart is a book devoted to love: to the intimacy of personal love and lovemaking, to a loving compassion for others, and to the love that embraces both this world and the next. This new volume from Roger Housden features a few of the same poets as his extraordinarily moving Ten Poems to Change Your Life, such as Mary Oliver and Pablo Neruda, along with contributions from Sharon Olds, Wislawa Szymborska, Czeslaw Milosz, Denise Levertov, and others. Any one of the ten poems and, indeed, any one of Housden’s reflections on them, can open, gladden, or pierce your heart. Through the voices of these ten inspiring poets, and through illustrations from his own life, Housden expresses the tenderness, beauty, joys, and sorrows of love, the presence of which, more than anything else, gives human existence its meaning. As Housden says in his eloquent introduction, “Great poetry happens when the mind is looking the other way and words fall from the sky to shape a moment that would normally be untranslatable. . . . When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.” From the Hardcover edition.

Life In 10 Words is a collection of poems which, though diminutive in size, are abundant in emotion. Portraits in sparse prose paint the human condition in sepia-tone thoughts. One frame vignettes feed the soul, and nourish the heart in hints of familiarity. Each one captures the mood of individual moments, like a treasured candid snapshot. More than just a verse on a page, Life In 10w is an interactive journey. Each line tells a story, and each reader will be reminded of individual experiences that shape their lives. Thoughts and memories will light the mind, and each passage offers an invitation for reflection, reminiscence, and self-discovery. It is in this opportunity that the book is truly transformed. As the reader puts a pen to page and paints the personal pictures of their lives, their own sepia-tone thoughts turn a book of little poems into a living album. At the end of the book, the reader will see that the life within its pages is their own.
