Charles Burack
Charles Burack, Ph.D., is an award-winning poet, writer, scholar, and teacher as well as a spiritual counselor and creativity coach. He is the author of three books and numerous essays, poems, and stories. In his latest poetry collection, Leaves of Light (Apocryphile, 2016), the sacred Earth comes alive as Burack meets trees, flowers, birds, spiders, cats, seals, and other wondrous and endangered creatures as equals. They share their wisdom and beauty, love and fear, humor and suffering, and inspire in him profound ponderings, playful antics, and startling realizations. Burack is a professor at John F. Kennedy University, where he teaches courses on psychology, spirituality, and literature and has pioneered contemplative and creative approaches to education.
