MIND DANCE/Poemic Provocations offers the best of John Selby's poems and lyrics - 110 personally-chosen selections with a mixture of reflection, inspiration and provocation, mellowed by country humor reflecting his cattle-ranch roots, and inspired by a lifetime of psychological and spiritual exploration and invention. This new book exposes the urgent impulses that have driven John to his present business engagement with our economic and social evolution. Before making peace with America's economic system, John as a young man was in fact quite a revolutionary, known for his deeper examination of what seemed wrong in our society. This collection of poems and lyrics reflects his evolution into harmony with cultural realities, but also holds intact his core revelations of the transcendence required for genuine, break-through change. But most important, for this particular dimension of John's life-time writing and work, are the words themselves - the beauty and power and presence of human expression in response to life experience. There is much love here on these pages, often startling and continually offering John's unique examination of the very guts of American culture. John is a realist but also a visionary - and this slim volume of his poems is the strongest, most compressed expression of this urgently-needed vision of where we go from here ... enjoy!
