In this, his second collection of poetry, John continues his exploration of life through a poet's lens. His self-reflection and deliberate challenge of reality lead us to reflect more deeply on our own lives as they unfold before us moment by moment. These rhythmic reflections on love, life, and spirit span the generations. Thirty Pieces of Silver is a collection of thirty poems in three areas of life: Love, Life, and Spirit. "Love" contains reflections in a style familiar to readers of Your Heart My Renaissance, "Life" offers thoughts on familiar subjects, while "Spirit" touches upon the depth of spiritual exploration.
