Bøger af John Gaskin

This is the second collection of poems by John Gaskin which were previously published in his other books from 2007 to 2022. The first collection published in "Boudoir Gloss" are poems on both experiences and relationships, sensual and gently erotic written for an 18+ audience. "Poet Johnny g" features the remaining poems and haikus which are about modern life, new experiences, ideas and events we have lived through over the past two decades and is suitable for readers of all ages.

We never truly know what's just around the corner, for life is full of surprises is it not? It's also a jigsaw puzzle and we must find all the pieces and put them together to build each of our own individual stories. My poems and haikus are about life, love, war, peace and may be the piece you need to tell yours. I hope that to be true and you enjoy them all as many others have done so before!

Der perfekte Begleiter für Touren nach Griechenland und Rom – und zu den Ideen der antiken Philosophen! John Gaskin entfaltet klar und verständlich die großen Gedanken über die Natur, das Leben, den Tod und andere Bereiche, die für die Gesellschaft und Kultur der klassischen Antike prägend waren. Dabei zeigt er immer, was sie für uns Heutige so interessant und denkenswert macht. Die Griechen waren die ersten, die rational zwei fundamentale Fragen diskutiert haben, die bis heute nicht aufgehört haben, uns Menschen zu beschäftigen: "Was ist die Natur, das Wesen des Universums?" sowie "Was kann ich aus meiner kurzen Zeitspanne in diesem Universum machen?" Ihre Antworten, entwickelt zwischen dem 8. Jh. v. Chr. und dem 4. Jh. n.Chr., sind heute noch so relevant wie damals. John Gaskin zeichnet sie nach und führt zu den Orten, an denen sie entstanden. "Eine großartige Idee, clever umgesetzt. Sie werden nie wieder einen Stoiker mit einem Zyniker verwechseln!" Eastern Daily Press
