Books by Arthur Jackson

“I layer my words like I paint: with intent to create a deeper perspective.” To Boys With Green Hair is a reflection of its writer, during his early 20’s in San Francisco. The concept of this collection began as a way of connecting the author to his roots. But, in the writing process the scope of these works grew to be something more like his then-evergreen Afro. It is now a coming of age: Arthur discovers himself, love, and the taste of an ache.Jackson is motivated to write in the inevitability that someone else in the world is feeling this, too. Holding these pages open, you, the reader, are also the Green Haired Boy.Arthur Jackson V, a California-grown queer kid who grew up an aspiring poet and talented painter. Arthur graduated from Suisun Community College with an AA in Fine Art with a focus in painting. Arthur’s background also includes an extensive look at modern art. His employment at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art helped him find clarity and muse. In 2018, Jackson traveled to Paris, France, not only for inspiration, but also to lay the completing marks of his first book, To Boys With Green Hair. When not working on poetry, Arthur can be found in the kitchen coming up with delicious recipes. Arthur has worked as managing Editor for Genre: Urban Arts where he helped create a by yearly issue [House of Gere] dedicated to queer artists of color. Arthur was also an editor for the Suisun Valley Review where he received honorable mention for the Quentin Duvall Award. His poetry can be found in publications such as Decolonize Mag, Three Lines Poetry, Anaïse, and Spaceships.com.

Preposterous, challenging, stimulating."A note of caution: this is not an easy read. Nor is it for the detached, uninvolved person. The author invites readers to accompany him on a journey of self-discovery and provides a road map to boot, rarely presented in such a clear and comprehensive way. The breadth and depth of Arthur Jackson's knowledge and experience become obvious early on as he presents a plethora of views from well-known and lesser-known philosophers, psychiatrists, psychologists, mathematicians, and others who influenced modern Western ideologies . . . This is a compendium of knowledge and insight nonpareil-truly a masterwork!"-Adrienne Juliano, member, Foundation for Mind-Being ResearchArthur Jackson's book is the product of his lifelong struggle to find a naturalistic alternative to traditional folk religions (like Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism) capable of providing comparable emotional support. This effort led to what is now recognized as a science of religion and ethics-a religion of wisdom providing guidance to any person interested in making moral and ethical choices. I believe that until a concrete science of religion and ethics exists and organizes to apply its findings, humanity will continue to struggle to create these things.How to Live the Good Life: A User's Guide for Modern Humans is a fascinating and eye-opening guide aimed at helping people experience more joy and achieving their full, positive potential.
