The Meditating Philosopher | Boundary Violations by Tom Cheetham | A Collection of Original Poems | Part 1 @TheMeditatingPhilosopher | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
Tom Cheetham is multifaceted - a lover of biology, teaching, art, philosophy ... and avocados, lemons, and the mystery of life. I learned about him through his books on Henry Corbin, and find his zest for life enchanting. He loves the little things on the periphery and seeing things in new ways. Listening to his poetry is like walking with one foot in fantasy and the other in a stream of consciousness - his poetic voice is distinct and if you like him and his work, I think you'll enjoy this too!

Poetry. "Coming from a rogue scholar of the imagination in esoteric Islam, a book of poems should be of no surprise, but this one sure is. Tom Cheetham plunges us deep into the imaginative realities of a life as far from Mecca as Maine. By turns ludic, dark, elegant, honest, with an enviable sense of the absurd, and with generosity towards existence, Cheetham is ever faithful to the turns of thought and feeling, interleaving the planes of the real into his continuous and wonderfully whacked-out song."—Joseph Donahue
