Description
Claude Simon was trained as a humanist in arts and sciences in France, the UK and the USA. He worked as a teacher, researcher and consultant in schools, universities and private companies. He lived in London for ten years, then in Princeton and New York for eight years. He met the artist Cynthia in New York and they’ve been together ever since. They both traveled extensively through South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. Claude now lives in France. Throughout his life, he kept diaries of his numerous professional and personal experiences. He decided then to put his notes into readable formats, whether short stories, novels or poetry. Claude still occasionally teaches and coaches people, but he is now focusing his energies on finalizing book projects conceived over the past twenty years. With the “Mirror …” poems, from beautiful love feelings to mysterious existential questioning, Claude takes you through fireworks of suggestions, sensations and dreams. In turn plain and simple, soul searching or uncomfortably dizzy, his thoughtful melodies will carry you across unknown yet familiar spiritual landscapes. We hope they bring consciousness to your mind, peace to your heart and enlighten your psychic universe.

Excerpt
(…) Here I am, with you, like an alien brother, You are here, with me, Intimate kin stranger, The door opens, The flood drowns us And sweeps away All words and thoughts. I am here in you, You are here in me, We are together in our unknown home, We are together, both in everything, Both with everything. (…) (from “Being in Nothingness”)
