John Griffiths

I've written three books of poetry, The Man at the End of the Bench, currently out of print, Cashmere Light, and most recently, God, Love, Joy, both books available on Amazon. I retired from full time teaching English at Butler County Community College, Butler PA in 2009, and currently teach a course in creative writing at BC3.

The themes I explore in my poetry are "the mysterious art of longing," the search for truth through spirituality in God, love, and joy and the nature of being. In my writing, I try " to shake up the universe and see if some truth falls out." Pittsburgh Post Gazette.

I am also an artist, focused on impressionism, and tame abstracts. In Erie, I'm represented by the following galleries: KADA, Artlore, and Gallery 104 where I live with my wife and a cat.
