Bücher von John Hughes

Building for the Butterfly is a collection of spontaneous poetic compositions that explore themes of uncertainty and crisis, the city and nature, with immediacy and degrees of objectivity. The language and diction are bound by determinate and indeterminate symbolism and idioms.Hughes writes rapidly and fiercely, often compounding layers and countervailing juxtapositions. The collection is a verse journal examining fear, anxiety, and confusion with veracity against a backdrop of sudden change, when the writer's child was suddenly hospitalised with an undiagnosed sickness. Inspired by Ted Hughes's Moortown Diary's search for a sense of place and a fleeting glimpse of a Red Admiral butterfly that flew by during a late summer Oslo rush hour commute, Building for the Butterfly is both a remarkably tender premonition and a raw and protective healing poultice intended to be applied by being read out loud. Enjoy its bold candour and waspish reflections.

Replicas is a kaleidoscopic collection riven together with a wide range of traditional poetic forms and techniques. The vast majority of the poems have a twin. The work as a whole acts as a mosaic of mirror images, intertextual reflections and thematic refractions. The poems are a rich blend of magic and realism. Hughes is fascinated by physical, psychological and ideological boundaries, the possibilities they present, and how we navigate them. There are symbolic existential odysseys and anecdotal parables garnered from the poet's assignments as a press photographer. He is both a Romantic and a cynic, his language and ideas peppered with intimate compassion, brazen humour and playful candour. It is a spaghetti junction of a world, but to stand alone gives the individual the potential for self-determinism and hopeful curiosity.

Inescapable Insatiable Shit Happens All the Time is a collection of poetry with prose interludes by a writer inspired by poets like John Cooper Clarke, Charles Bukowski, and Gil Scott-Heron. Hughes transgresses boundaries and bastardizes attitudes, combining the guttural and humorous colloquial voices of present-day streets and bars into a knot of parallels and paradoxes. In prose narratives like Guide to the Hamartons, two friends, John Joe B. Albino and Pavo la Terriblé, meet an alcoholic Cumbrian as they flâneur around the small town. In poems like Mr. Hyper, The Coal Man, and Hermes, for example, he embodies the subjects and presents personae in the way that Fernando Pessoa developed his numerous pseudonyms. This approach creates poetic elements layered with honest introversion and pugnacity in the face of defeat. The reader is shown rituals of seeing, much the same as John Berger intimated in his 1970s book Ways of Seeing. For Hughes, a leaf has 'clouds for pillows', poetry is the 'wind passing through fences', and time is 'calm as a cathedral's echoes'. The writing flows then pinballs at tangents and complications ripe with scorn, fortitude, sassiness, and candour. Often, an enigmatic sting is in the telling, and although each endgame may resolve, 'one hip bar's like another's destiny's near or far', and there is a pervading sense that you might as well be hung for a lamb as a sheep.

Heart Like A Bonfire is a confluence of poignant tales from within a hospice company. Based on the author's 13 years as a spiritual care provider and bereavement specialist in a hospice, it explores dying, death, grief, and bereavement from several perspectives, facing these with a blend of gritty honesty and loving spirituality.As patient Ezra comes very near death, a nurse prescribes fentanyl for him as painkiller, and Ezra's son Bob objects. Bob calls for an ambulance, and Ezra perishes in the back of same. The patient Beth approaches death with fears of hell, saturated as she is with Roman Catholic guilt over her sexuality. Youthful patient Benjamin, married to devoted Mabel, pancake waitress, has a rebellious, off-color outlook on life and proceeds through the Elizabeth Kubler-Ross five stages of dying.Chaplain Richard and Nursing Aide Mona tell the story of their involvement with these, in alternating, sometimes quirky and original voices. They explore their own feelings about mortality, and the work they are doing, and describe their evolving perspectives on these characters, and five others. The others are brought in for extra color, poignancy and a sense of the context of the work of hospice.The patients and their families have their own say, as well, describing in unvarnished tones what it is like for them to be dying, or having a loved one dying.This novel evokes in a listener feelings of deep-seated emotion, as they grapple with the deaths they see emerging on the page. Also, imparted is a sense of peace over the fact that we are all facing this perennial challenge together. Insights about the nature of the death process, and the corporate nature of the American hospice industry, are shared.

In a vast world of mainstream and alternative health approaches, how do we practice the best medicine for Earth and her inhabitants? Does the scientific method, developed in the 17th century, provide relevant and effective knowledge for us in the 21st century? Do so-called objective, scientific experiments really lead to us to the full truth about health and life? Perhaps there's another science, a higher order science, that integrates spirit, mind, body, Earth, and all of Nature in a more authentic and truthful way. Given the challenges Mother Earth faces now, it's high time for a superior science that provides healing wisdom for humans as well as our sacred planet as we transition to the Fifth World.In Fifth World Medicine: The Science of Healing People and Their Planet, Dr. John Hughes beckons us to explore how we know what we know about a friend, a pet, a tree, or any being in Nature. Dr. Hughes advocates for a return to Aristotle's ultimate, contemplative science in place of the draconian 17th century science that still governs much of modern medicine today. Dr. Hughes argues that by practicing contemplative science and medicine in place of the archaic scientific method, we shall discover greater truths about ourselves and our Mother Earth. Through this contemplative science, we also find an intimacy with Nature and the Creator, the kind of intimacy that characterizes that of traditional Indigenous peoples as well as the medicine and culture of the Fifth World.

""Kirwan Unmasked"" is a book that provides a critical review of Kirwan, a prominent figure in the Catholic Church during the 18th century. The review is presented in the form of six letters addressed to the Reverend Nicholas Murray, a fellow clergyman.

The book also contains a detailed account of Kirwan's personal life, including his relationships with women and his financial dealings.
