Chronicle Concering Books There Are Men Too Gentle to Live Among Wolves

Picked up this hardback collection downstairs in the dungeon where we have the public library book sale...currently $1 per plastic grocery bag of books?

Anyway, I opened it: copyrighted in 1970. The preface or acknowledgement or whatever it's called read..."I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hope to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter..."

I had no sooner finished that than the lyrics from The Seeker by The Who entered my head and I can't get it OUT: "I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles, I asked Timothy Leary but he couldn't help me either. They call me the Seeker. I've been searchin low and high."

This free association or synchronicity or whatever the hell is just burnin a hole in my brain lately but all this writing is just coming at me in wave after wave that fits flawlessly together. I am awed by it and find it no accident.

I was in a flea market a few weeks back and bought By Oak, Ash and Thorn, which is about modern shamanism...wow, is that one a mind bender. No doubt fated...and I don't even believe in fate...

(to be continued)...Oh yeah, got into a running debate with idiots on a yahoo post about who's responsible for the Gulf oil debacle...reminded me a lot of GR group discussions...thank God I got out of those never to return...GR reviewers have all the answers!

Read this years ago, but recall it being one of my favorites.

The title poem or better put the title is the gem. I would suggest reading that poem or taking what you will from the title. This will resonate with some people. Others will hate it. I find it a refreshingly honest disclosure in a world full of chest thumping bs posturing.

I really liked some of his poems. They kinda went for brutal honesty. I hadn't realized right away that he had been a priest. That for me was a pretty compelling backstory. Anyway, I did get the impression that he had given up all familiar things for honesty, and that was refreshing. This was in the late 60's. Glad I read it but don't feel compelled to keep it.

An overwhelmingly average collection of poetry. I respect a lot of the ideas that Kavanaugh writes about, and the content of the poems is often so genuine and personal that it feels difficult to criticize. Nevertheless, most of the poems in this collection were just boring, and the ones that were interesting never really went beyond merely interesting. Overall 2.5 stars.

A collection of poetry so raw, so beautiful, so pure. Traversing life through the eyes of both an oblivious child, and of an old sage. The books themes of love, loneliness, and wanderlust resonate deeply with my soul.Thanks Open Library, but I need a hard copy.To stain the pages with my tears, and softly wear them down with my shivering grasp.Maybe I am a man too gentle to live among wolves.

A bit morose yet deeply heartfelt collection of prose. Given to me by a dearly departed friend, it is an echo of his beauty & turmoil. I will never forget you James.
