Praise for Colin Greer: “Greer not only portrays the gaps in understanding that needed to be closed between Catholics and Jews, but also surmises on how there are limits for each of us in how far we can step outside of ourselves to make change.” ―Edward K. Kaplan, Kevy and Hortense Kaiserman Professor in the Humanities, Brandies University; author, Spiritual Radical: Abraham Joshua Heschel in America (Winner of the National Jewish Book Award) “Greer never doesn’t tell us which choice to make. Instead his meditation makes us face our own moral landscape with a bit more humility.” ―Ruth Messinger, President, American Jewish World Service (AJWS)Praise for “Imagining Heschel”:  “Abraham Joshua Heschel was one of the greatest thinkers and teachers of Judaism in the past two thousand years, and this play, ‘Imagining Heschel,’ captures him at the very historic moment when he seeks to shake the Vatican out of its historic role as victimizer of the Jews.” ―Matthew Weiner, Associate Dean of Religious Life, Princeton University “Heschel, in the play, is a fascinating, complex, at times charming, and at other times a self-defeating, somewhat crabby personality who was an enormous force among those who were enormous forces. At many moments I found myself recalling how Kennedy seemed to blow the lid off of the Eisenhower stodginess and how Pope John seemed to do something similar to the Catholic Church.”―Rabbi Michael Lerner, Editor, Tikkun MagazinePraise for “Spinoza’s Solitude”:  “‘Spinoza’s Solitude’ fascinates. In illuminating the inner life, communal ties, and human dimensions of this ‘dangerous’ thinker, Colin Greer’s absorbing play of persons and ideas instructs as it entertains. Spinoza’s shift from theology and exegesis to science and reason underpins Greer’s arresting interrogation of creative genius and its costs.” ―Ira Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History, Columbia University; President, Social Science Research Council

"Colin Greer is among the most brilliant minds I know. His poems reflect a rare sensibility. Some bring the Hebrew Bible alive in intimate detail. Others speak of our lives with the fierce urgency of now. Read them, let them work on you." --Michael Lerner, President and Co-founder, Commonweal "I've enjoyed these poems very much. I find them poignant, deeply intelligent and full of heart. They each present an imaginative way of reflecting on the world such as it is and provide much needed perspective." --Tom Oppenheim, Director at Stella Adler Studio and Harold Clurman Center for Poetry "A call to action, a confession. God, guns and plenty of ammunition. The imagery is distinct and fresh. An inspiration, a provocateur, Greer keeps us thinking, questioning and searching deeply in our souls for unanswered questions to ask." --Gina Belavonte, Writer, Director and Executive Director, Sankofa.org "Beautifully captures singular moments of morality, intimacy, spirituality, and humanity . . . stirs up ghosts of the past while rooted very much in this moment." --Daniella Topol, Artistic Director, Rattlestick Theater, NYC "These are beautiful poems, wondering out loud, conjuring memetic murmurs of what could be, recasting ancient truth, rewilding our political sensibilities in the context of dangerous times." --Alnoor Ladha, Co-founder and Executive Director, The Rules

The author muses on the human condition through verse, taking the lucky reader through the ordinary, the personal, the sublime, and tragic alike. If But My Gaze Could Heal’s 150 poems are thoughtfully broken into five thematic chapters: With or Without Which, Mischief and Melancholy, Stick out your Tongue, Phew!, and What is Hidden and Hidden From. 
The Reverend Billy Talen, founder of the radical performance group Church of Stop Shopping exclaimed, “reading Gaze made my hair change color.”

Essays & Correspondence

Residing at the meeting point of social justice and spirituality, Colin Greer's third collected work of poetry, Defeat/No Surrender, is a tribute to his late friend, and spiritual teacher, Dr. Jerry Epstein, founder of the American Institute for Mental Imagery (AIMI). Following in a long spiritual tradition that premises ethical relationships as the foundation for connection to God and the key to collective liberation, Greer's poems explore our longing for unity and the injustices that keep us divided. Mixing past and present in a collage of rich imagery, Defeat/No Surrender asks us to hold up a mirror to ourselves and our crumbling communities, and implores us to imagine new worlds beyond survival, where new ways of loving individually and collectively can make us free. Colin Greer is president of the New World Foundation which supports activism and advocacy on behalf of the environment, democracy, and community power-building.
