               Roger Housden, author of the best-selling Ten Poems to Change Your Life, celebrates the growing popularity of mystical poetry with this beautiful compilation from the Christian  contemplative tradition. Although the writings of the Sufi mystics (Rumi and Hafez) and the Indian mystics (Mirabai and Kabir) have reached a wide audience in recent years, the poetry of the Christian mystics has yet to be discovered by a general audience. For Lovers of God Everywhere, a collection of nearly 100 poems from both historic and contemporary writers,  heralds the reemergence of the great spiritual voices of the Christian tradition—a tradition with its own love songs to God, cries of longing, and bliss of union.                 In this collection, Roger introduces us to some of the foremost poets of both the Eastern and Western Christian traditions. He takes us from the wisdom of the Desert Fathers to the passion of St. Augustine, through the medieval ecstasies of St. Francis of Assisi and St. Catherine of Siena, to the subtleties of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila; and on to contemporary voices such as Rainer Maria Rilke, T.S. Eliot, and Mary Oliver. Roger’s insightful commentary on each poem inspires us to take its words more deeply into our souls and shows how the mystical tradition transcends sectarian divides and speaks to the heart of humanity.

Wottest thou, reader, of a little town, {17}Which thereabouts they call Bob-up-and-down,Under the Blee, in Canterbury way?Well, there our host began to jest and play,And said, “Hush, hush now: Dun is in the mire.What, sirs? will nobody, for prayer or hire,Wake our good gossip, sleeping here behind?Here were a bundle for a thief to find.See, how he noddeth! by St. Peter, see!He’ll tumble off his saddle presently.Is that a cook of London, red flames take him!He knoweth the agreement - wake him, wake him:We’ll have his tale, to keep him from his nap,Although the drink turn out not worth the tap.Awake, thou cook,” quoth he; “God say thee nay;What aileth thee to sleep thus in the day?Hast thou had fleas all night? or art thou drunk?Or didst thou sup with my good lord the monk,And hast a jolly surfeit in thine head?” This cook that was full pale, and nothing red,Stared up, and said unto the host, “God blessMy soul, I feel such wondrous heaviness,I know not why, that I would rather sleepThan drink of the best gallon-wine in Cheap.”
