This book of poetry reflects Toms more serious side. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit, each poem being written in the early hours of the morning. It is what I call real bloke poetry. Though it is suitable for a general audience, it is aimed at real blokes. I am hoping to make it available for prison ministry.

With a growing collection of more than 300 poems, Xoandre Moats has begun collecting themed volumes of his writings into chapbooks. Midnight Reflections is a taste of things to come, an introduction to Xoandre's not-quite-normal state of mind. “My ultimate mission through writing is to expose the raw emotions and depressing thoughts that children go through during and after the trauma of abuse. I write from the heart, with a clear head and stern focus that seems to frighten those who have never known strife. I find it infuriating when I encounter people who say my thoughts should never be presented in this fashion. To them I say: The world is like a midnight reflection. If you don't open your eyes, you will never know what true darkness looks like. You will never know where you might best shine the light of hope for someone who needs it most.” Contents: 24 poems with notes from Xoandre, imagery designed by Xoandre, photos taken by Xoandre and his mother. You will be moved, confused, delighted, and frustrated by the poems in this book. This is by design, to make you consider every possible meaning, how you feel about the ideas presented, and find within yourself that thread of revelation and joy at discovering something more…

Out of print for two decades and reissued in this updated edition, Sun at Midnight is the first translation into English of the work of Muso Soseki, a Zen roshi of the fourteenth century and father of what we now think of as the Zen rock garden. These sublime translations reveal W.S. Merwin's own resources as a gardener; the heart of both his and Soseki's endeavors can be seen with clarity through these inspiring poems and letters. Intensely lyric and rich with the concrete details of sight, sound, and scent, deeply immersed in the great philosophical questions, the work is transformative and full-spectrum. From a telling smile and handshake in "the one wind" to "something beyond happiness / inside the gate / of this mountain," the infinity in a moment can be found everywhere. All worries and troubles have gone from my breast and I play joyfully far from the world For a person of Zen no limits exist The blue sky must feel ashamed to be so small Book jacket.
