DESCRIPTION:
But while the selected poems in this volume may focus upon loss and grief, they also reflect solace, respite, and joy. A goodbye is an opportunity for kindness, for forgiveness, for intimacy, and ultimately for love and a deepening acceptance of life as it is rather than what it was. In this inspiring and consoling volume, Housden encourages readers to embrace poetry as a way of enabling us to better see and appreciate the beauty of the world around and within us.. In Ten Poems to Say Goodbye, the newest addition to the celebrated Ten Poems series, Roger Housden continues to highlight the magic of poetry, this time as it relates to personal loss. Goodbyes can be poignant, sorrowful, sometimes a relief, and—now and then—even an occasion for joy. They are always transitions that, when embraced, can be the door to a new life both for ourselves and for others

"Three Stars" according to Kathleen Veenstra. I love his poems books, though this wasn't my favorite.. Grace for the Dark Night Roger Housden is one of the most insightful, compelling writers I know- his meditations on pilgrimage, poetry and art woven in with his own personal stories reveal what is most deeply human within us. I've given away dozens of his books to friends and students over the past few years, and know that his words have the power to change lives. With this book, I do not think it is an exaggeration to say that book might not just change lives- it could well save them. I urge you to buy several copies to keep on a shelf. One for yourself to have always an. delicious tastes Kindle Customer I took Roger Housden's book to my women's group last night and we used it to deepen our discussion of partings and losses and what remains after those endings. Almost all of us used the word "delicious" at one point or another-- with gratitude for what the poems brought us and what they let us share with each other. This book is in itself a precious gift and I intend to give it to many of my friends.
