He was once fired for his too short haircut. Reviews "Roxborough apostrophizes Desire in its every form and creates a document I wish had been written to me by all the lovers I've ever known. Roxborough speaks the universal languages of physics and philosophy; "mad with randomness and Einstein", in that place where "everything whirls at the speed of light" yet ultimately brings one to experience compassion for everyone and everything." Donna Snyder, author, lawyer, editor, human rights advocate "sum uv th most romantik poetree evr writtn shakespeare elizabeth barrett browning n rumi wud love as i dew open heart sutra surgery deels with zanee prsuayuns n hot physical needs delite in passyun yerning n finding th marvels uv langwage n desires satiaysyun betrayl distans ing loss is it all random what role duz our doomd intensyunalitee play whats goin on can we know mantra 4 opn life love lerning unlerning book a great book a great reed" bill bissett, poet, painter, teacher, mystic "Stephen Roxborough sparks a connection between the physical and spiritual as he beckons the reader to make the leap back and forth. Desire beseeched, romance explored and questioned, Open Heart Sutra Surgery gleans the wisdom and folly from love and passion while serving us a rare, delicious taste of juicy forbidden fruit." Karl Blau, singer, songwriter, thinker, producer
Autorenporträt
Stephen Roxborough is the middle of three children. What are the odds of his older brother growing up to be the world's foremost oddsmaker and his younger brother a Catholic Mormon? He was raised by his Canadian father, business executive, and age group swim coach, and his American mother who made whipped wax candles, fabric angels, award-winning quilts, and 14 different kinds of Christmas cookies. They were married 64 years. His Canadian grandfather graduated as far as grade 8, yet became Chairman of the Toronto Board of Education. His American grandfather was an inventor for Bell Telephone, and secretly wanted to become a minister. The author raised two boys from diapers to high school. He knows there's no retirement from parenting, and works at writing, photography, and being a better father.
