Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In his collection Risking Everything, Housden addressed love’s many aspects. Now, in Dancing with Joy, he assembles 99 poems from 69 poets that celebrate the many colors of joy. Anything can be a catalyst for joy, these poems reveal.

For Wislawa Szymborska, the catalyst is a dream; for Robert Bly, being in the company of his ten-year-old son; for Gerald Stern, it is a grapefruit at breakfast; for Billy Collins, a cigarette. Dancing with Joy includes English and Italian classical and romantic works; early Chinese and Persian verse; and poets from Chile, France, Sweden, Poland, Russia, Turkey, and India, plus a range of contemporary American and English poets.

Whether inspiration is what you need, or an affirmation of what is already joyful in life, Dancing with Joy is a welcome treat for Housden’s numerous fans, as well as anyone looking for sheer happiness, marvelously expressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, December 18, 2007
By Eileen Olynciw "reader" (Waterford,, CT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The selection of poetry in this volume is wonderful. It's one of my favorit anthologies and I have purchased extra copies for friends. The forward and first poem clearly present a case for joyousness even in this world of hunger, disasters, and sorrows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Personal Favorite of all his poetry compilations!, January 14, 2009
There are just a handful of poems in this collection that aren't great. I do miss the essays that accompany the poems in his 'Ten Poems' series but still this is a great collection to have by your bedside.
