Buddhas and Angels at the Dump is a human synthesis of the chaotic emergence of the sacred and the profane in globalizing, late-stage capitalist society. Written between Portland and Bellingham, it is for Zen in the storm, ethicals, metaphysical-romantics, transcendentalists, struggling mothers and fathers, well-intentioned rebels, normal animal-people and beatnets of all kinds (especially angels who end up in a tight spot). These poems are meant to evoke the unity, beauty, and transience of life with the hope and power in the conscious being. Further, towards holistic society which recognizes its built illusions and potential for the sake of the global village and superorganism earth. Through self-knowledge and compassion, to see past the social control constructions of self against other in the age of fear and pop-up culture. Poems are accompanied by black and white photos by the author that focus on nonduality and slowing down amid the complexity of the network society.Cody Owen was born September 19th, 1992 and raised in Portland, Oregon. Growing up in the pacific northwest visiting the ocean, forests, mountains, and high desert, he was inspired by the interdependence of human and natural systems. Sometimes working as a mountain guide, Cody studies society and social movements, political economy, philosophy, religion, Zen, digging holes in the ground, and himself, among other natural phenomena. He is a forgivable sinner and loves whatever gets you out of bed in the morning, but especially compassion, forgiveness, creativity, dreams and the unity of living things.
