Böcker av John Siddique

This book is a celebration of who we are; the good stuff, our amazing senses, language, love, gossip and cheese. John Siddique's poems blast off the page into real life or they can melt as gently as a snowflake on your tongue.

In an age of declarative confidence, this collection, with its Eastern-inflected, soft-falling hesitations and divinations, opens up a world of gentle possibilities, an alternative way of Being in the natural world: it''s a collection which suggests that, although for many the world is not experienced this way, this world can be: So.

Popular meditation leader and poet John Siddique draws on more than 40 years of practice to offer this uniquely helpful road map to the spiritual journey, highlighting the changes that show us we're making progress and the obstacles that will certainly come up.

Full Blood is John Siddique's fourth full-length collection of poems for adults. Erotic, physical, completely open and fully engaged with the mortal urgency of life, Siddique tackles his themes robustly and yet with great sensitivity, constantly defining and reimagining what it is to be a man in today's world, living fully in the moment.

From the depths of longing to the London Bombings Recital offers a poet's journey looking at our world over the space of a year. Taking the lunar cycle as its central theme, Siddique's book surveys our doubts, desires and dislocations and unites us in a celebration of love.
