The Heart Has a Homely Face
THE HEART HAS A HOMELY FACE is a book of introspective poetry composed on ordinary themes that come through a Taoist perspective. Anderson's poetry rests on a point of inner balance upon common experiences. He brings forth the insights that most people can relate to concerning their connection with all things living. Anderson asks in his work, What has my life as a poet meant but to tighten the string that ties us all together? As a philosophical Taoist Anderson tries to weigh all of his subjects with an equal objectivity that evokes empathy and compassion from within one's self, and connects with all humankind.

Über den Autor
James Victor Anderson is the author of three previous books of poetry under the titles of NOT UNLIKE A MADMAN IN CHEAP SANDALS, DANCE WITHOUT A RACK OF BONES WITHIN, and THE HEART HAS A HOMELY FACE. Anderson writes through the perspective of philosophical Taoism. He celebrates the meeting of Eastern and Western spiritual insights, and admits to being a guilty party in trying to make the unknowable just a cattails's width closer to being understable. He believes that poetry is better at accomplishing this, as it requires the individual to focus introspectively upon the soul rather than the ego. The ego never wants to see the lumps, bruises, scars and vulnerable shortcomings that we have incurred in its service. But the soul needs to awaken itself to that we are and accept ourselves as we are by cutting loose from the puppet strings of the ego, and cease to be its toy. By accepting ourselves as we are, we begin to accept the love of our heavenly creator.
