false 1757749 1 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.<br><br>That&#8217;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.<br><br>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, &#8220;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.&#8221; 1755634 27 11 2007 Ten Poems to Change Your Life Again and Again total:33|5:12|4:10|3:7|2:2|1:2| 33 127 69 9 5 0 false false Wed Oct 07 09:55:01 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 07 10:14:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Mon Jun 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 19:53:37 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 22 05:28:48 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Fri Feb 20 10:42:33 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 10:44:46 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Feb 04 12:04:37 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 04 12:04:56 -0800 2009 5 0 true false Mon Feb 25 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Tue Feb 12 14:44:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 25 19:57:18 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 31 09:35:10 -0800 2008 Fri Apr 11 08:43:11 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Aug 11 14:50:07 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 14:50:46 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sat Jun 13 17:07:09 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 17:09:22 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jan 30 07:23:47 -0800 2009 Fri May 15 04:48:18 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Nov 16 06:32:32 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 06:32:32 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Sep 23 16:42:34 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 16:42:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 13 15:50:30 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 17:32:28 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Nov 04 10:45:55 -0800 2009 Tue Sep 08 12:36:18 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 04 10:45:55 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 06 03:59:55 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 03:59:55 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 05 18:04:34 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 05 18:04:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 12:26:02 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 31 10:32:51 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Fri Jul 31 13:57:58 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 13:57:58 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jul 21 08:09:06 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 21 08:09:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 18 17:55:49 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 18 17:55:49 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jul 03 14:04:12 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 12 20:03:25 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1757749
