Sinopse

"Looking Good, Mary" is something my parrot used to say to me and when I was feeling low it gave me a real lift. This book of poems started as a collection of memoirs that I wrote for my children. It is a mixture of things that happen in everyday life - funny and sometimes sad. I am still amused as I read these as every one of them is a true story from my life.

    “Within each of us is a divine treasure, and if we hope to discover it we need to go deep into the heart of who we are.”—Meister Eckhart Meister Eckhart has been a huge influence on spirituality for more than 800  years, including to philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, Rudolf Steiner, and Matthew Fox—all crediting Eckhart as being an important influence on their thought.   This book of Meister Eckhart meditations is for people seeking the “wayless way.” It is not for those looking for a simple path. Many people in our time still go looking for a straight path toward a defined goal, without detours, led by a guide who tells them what to do and what not to do. They would be uncomfortable with Meister Eckhart—a Christian mystic from the century of Rumi and Francis of Assisi—who said to “take leave of God for the sake of God.” And, “Learn not to love in order that you may learn to love.” And, “All things are equal and alike in God and are God.”   These fresh, stunning renderings of his writings in poetic form bring life to one of the great spiritual voices of any age. They reveal what it means to love God and find meaning in darkness. In a culture that craved light—and what culture does not?—Eckhart dared to imagine that the darkness is what matters most. Not darkness in general, but your darkness, because it is the one thing you know something about, and without facing your darkness, you’ll never know what it means to desire the light. You’ll never even imagine what light is about. Only when you are in the darkness, Meister says, do you have even the possibility of seeing the light.

    Written for boys who like to eat other people's sorrows, or not eat at all, and for girls who love them regardless. 
    Nick and Mark are 20-something nihilists with nothing but Thursday evenings, a mattress, and the weight of their own thoughts. In one final attempt to find meaning, they give themselves a week to search. If they fail, they jump. 
    We’re Jumping Tomorrow is an intimate, hauntingly poetic novella designed to be read in one sitting, like stumbling upon a stranger’s tragic story online, finding empathy for them, and then scrolling away. Combining sharp cynicism with raw, visual prose, it captures the fleeting yet profound nature of human connection, mental illness, and the quiet desperation of young adulthood. 
    Never quite meant for the public eye, We’re Jumping Tomorrow holds enough importance to be released anyway. Though darkness and pessimism spread throughout its pages, an unshakable sense of humor and self-deprecation stand firm, reflecting this generation’s ability to face even the most gruesome thoughts with a grin.

Our poets range from novices to luminaries of the Welsh Poetry scene. The outcome - 50 poems in their original language, whether that was English or Welsh, next to a translation, celebrating everything about Welsh rivers, from source to estuary, fresh and clean or culverted and polluted, childhood memory to recent flooding.
