O knihe

Simkin's poetry dares us to feel all there is so that we can return to a state of wholeness. And just as the cure may lie in the poison, Simkin describes the machinations of the thinking mind to point us towards the quiet of the witnessing presence. Waves on Waves is an eclectic and delightfully engaging collection of 69 poems, divided into five sections according to the different types of brainwaves. Part lyric and part narrative, this poetry is written with compassion and vulnerability, bidding us to unite the polarities of fear vs love and the individual vs the collective. Simkin explores a broad range of themes, from our divorce from nature to impending societal collapse, Israel, exotic states of consciousness and the mysterious history of man. He flavours his work with biting humour and a generous dose of irreverence, inviting us to check closely which of our boundaries are concrete and which are paper. For Simkin, our contract with existence is tough - it requires us to surf through space, loving with open hearts without clinging on.
