James Powell examines the symbols of language the way a biologist examines cells. New York Times Review of Books.

James Powell assures us that the universe is a silent partner in a dialogue that goes on all the time. New York Times Review of Books

James Powell is "a good literary surgeon." An accomplished writer of fiction.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

James Powell’s writings on Polynesian sexual mores (Energy and Eros) have been embraced worldwide as a way to rediscover the contemplative dimension of sexual union, to blend the infinity of delight we experience through our sensual play with the ocean of spiritual bliss we can discover within our hearts.  These writings have enjoyed an especially warm reception in Japan, where the island nation’s most revered author, a sort of literary spiritual icon, Mr. Hiroyuki Itsuki, was inspired by Energy and Eros to pen two volumes: Silent Love and Twelve Chapters on Love.  More recently, the head of the Japanese Family Planning Association also recommends Energy and Eros.

With the worldwide popularity of the Slow Life, Slow Food and Slow Love movements, Powell’s writings on laidback loving have gained popularity around the globe.  In his workshops on Polynesian passion participants explore a more quiet and subtle use of their senses, discover the emotional blocks that inhibit a more heartfelt union with their lover, and enjoy deep rest.    

 

DerridaPowell’s lucid guides to the contemporary world’s most important but obscure philosopher, the late Jacques Derrida, and his philosophy of deconstruction whittle down the confused brambles of Derrida’s thought into prose you can get a handle on.

 

 

 

 

His introductions to Postmodernism and Eastern Philosophy bring new clarity to the subjects.

 

Eastern Philosophy

 

 

Powell’s cross-cultural study of philosophies of language around the world, The Tao of Symbols, motivated a reviewer in the New York Times Review of Books to write that Mr. Powell “examines language the way a biologist examines cells.”
