When Emily Wilson’s translation of The Odyssey appeared in 2017―rendering the ancient poem in contemporary language that was “fresh, unpretentious and lean” (Madeline Miller, Washington Post)―critics lauded it as “a revelation” (Susan Chira, New York Times) and “a cultural landmark” (Charlotte Higgins, Guardian) that would forever change how Homer is read in English. Now Wilson has returned with an equally revelatory translation of Homer’s other great epic―the most revered war poem of all time.

I Hope You Remember, Josie’s first book of poetry, includes this poem and over eighty others, some previously published and others never shared before.

This is a book about discovering the secret to all the things we most desire: contentment, meaning, peace of mind, and true freedom. This skillfully edited translation of selections from the writings of Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1328) provides a road map to the spiritual life for contemporary seekers. Eckhart takes us on a journey of discovery, a journey in which we learn to let go, relinquish our need to know everything, and lose those things that we think are important for a life of worth. And in the end he shows us that the true secret is: to find yourself, you must lose yourself.

I found myself through this journey when I realized God was and is with me always. God allowed me to see myself through my darkest hours, he walked with me when I was in dry places, he whispered to me when I was in the lowest valleys, and he held me in his arms when I was on the mountaintop.

Today what matters most is not the accumulation of wealth but the well-being of society. There is enough for everyone, the essential problem we face today is the unequal distribution of resources. A decade from now (publication of this work), we are hoping that this will be the problem of the past.

This book is entitled Scattered Seeds because it is a collection of poems that I have written over the last fourteen years, after the publication of my first two books, especially the first one, Seed of Stars (written in 2004 / 2005 and published in 2014; the second was Song of Love Itself, from the same period, but published in 2013; both are available on an online platform for independent authors; search for the titles and my name).
