Roger Housden’s most recent book, Ten Poems To Change Your Life Again and Again, takes ten remarkable poems from around the world and uses their powerful imagery to give shape to our dreams, aspirations and longings. In the process, the book raises questions – inherent in the poems themselves – about what it means to be human.

Another of his recent works, Seven Sins For a Life Worth Living, is an unusual reflection on the nature of pleasure, including the pleasure of doing nothing (“the creative pause”) and the pleasure of not being perfect. His work has been featured in “The Oprah Magazine”, “The New York Times” and in “The Los Angeles Times”.
