Books by John Brehm

The author explores poetry as a spiritual practice with example poems from contemporary and historical poets, particularly as they relate to Buddhism. Includes meditations on poems and writing prompts for readers to experiment with on their own.

With his trademark self-deprecating wit, honesty, and sparkling language, John Brehm's latest collection invites readers along on his spiritual journey. No Day at the Beach traces a progression from loneliness and the pull of the past to the grace that is found through immersion in the present and the melancholy beauty of impermanence.

Features 125 poems with a spiritual and mindfulness theme, from a range of ancient and modern poets.
