John P. Cock

By Cosmic Design John P. Cock

These 109 poems touch on the deeps of the spirit journey. They attempt contemporary expression that honors and yet transcends traditional religious and secular articulation, and that honors creation . . . and spirit at the heart of every piece of it. They are kin to Lao Tzu, Tagore, Kazantzakis, D. H. Lawrence, e. e. cummings, Teilhard de Chardin, Mary Oliver, and Stanley Kunitz. This is John P. Cock's ninth book. Others include a spirit journey novel in the spirit of Hesse's SIDDHARTHA, a memoir, and musings on spirituality, religion, theology, ecology, cosmology, and vocation. Thomas Berry writes on the cover: ". . . John Cock may be considered one of our more significant guides into an exciting future."
