About the Book
A BOOK OF SOUL ENERGIES IN POEMS & LYRICS
“That Bull Headed Saviour exists,” writes Joseph Lamm, “ is a
testament to grace. When all is taken away, when we reach the
‘pouring out’ of our self, it is our redemption.”
After completing the poetic narrative Andean’s Ascent, Joseph Lamm
found critical acclaim and modest chart success in music with the
albums Watching The Coming Storm and Standing In The Tower.
In 2003 he began work on a project that was born out of a passion for the writings of
William Blake. Lamm also had high esteem for beat poet, author, and playwright Michael McClure’s body of
work, especially his bold and daring collection Rain Mirror. The result
of an “emotional and physiological collapse” as McClure himself
described it, Rain Mirror was a foreshadowing of Lamm’s own parallel
experience two years later, as a purging of his soul gave way to a
wondrous spiritual awakening. Bull Headed Saviour entwines the beauty
of nature, the emotion and desires of the heart, and the spirit of the
soul toward a common celebration found within everyone.
This collection contains many of the poems and lyrics that were
written during this period, along with selected lyrics from the albums
Watching The Coming Storm, Standing In The Tower, and his newest work,
Hot As Sun, Vol.1.
