In this new collection of memories and meditations, author David Roomy explores the union of some of lifes great opposites. He considers human nature as possessing a duality: spirit and flesh, refinement and passionEnglish and Greek aspects of our own natures. Through prose narrative and poetry, he recalls his experiences in England and Greece and with their respective cultures through the lens of this duality.

Part memoir, part collection of verse, Spirit and Flesh, Englishman and Greek reflects on lifes nature with beauty and intensity.

Spirit and Flesh, Englishman and Greek is the product of fifty years of contemplation and meditation on the life of flesh and soul. David Roomy, with his Greek and American heritage, has traveled and lived in the world and in his psyche, with the struggle between his Dionysian and Apollonian sides. His beautiful prose and poetry capture the feeling of both the people and landscapes of Greece and rural England. The result is that the opposites are united under one cover in a profoundly moving way. His words reverberate and resonate within the reader's psyche long after the book has been gently placed down.
