Bull Headed Saviour Joseph Lamm

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 a collaboration with legendary beat poet, author, and playwright Michael McClure on a rock music/poetry project that was born out of a shared passion for the writings of William Blake. Lamm had high esteem for McClure's own 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.
