A powerful collection of poems from the bestselling creator of The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy.

In Just This, beloved poet John Brehm returns with a rich and inclusive collection of his best poems. As he faces his own mortality and health challenges, Brehm offers us a moving, elegant, and refreshingly honest look at moments of beauty, pain, and insight in his own life. The collection also contains a substantial selection of poems from his previous books, allowing us to see the evolution of his work over the past twenty years, as his Dharma practice and his poetry practice become more integrated.

For readers, the lively, accessible poems in Just This may come to feel like companions--offering wisdom, comfort, and the blessed relief of laughter--as they walk through the ten thousand joys and sorrows of their own lives.
