With academic degrees in Biology and Environmental Biology from Earlham and Hood Colleges, he has channeled his passion for the natural world through diverse careers, including working as a wilderness camp counselor, a middle school teacher, and a chestnut restoration biologist for 4.5 years.A lifelong ceramic artist specializing in studio ceramics, slip decoration, and spherical sculptures, Strasser traveled to Japan twice for cultural exchange and a residency in ceramic arts. A significant portion of this debut collection, Mystics Recourse, was written during his personal battle with Stage 4 cancer, making his work a profound testament to resilience and the enduring power of the soul. He currently lives and works in Frederick, Maryland and Shepherdstown, West Virginia.Mystics Recourse: A Poetic Journey is a profound collection of verse that navigates the personal and spiritual landscape of life-altering challenges. Dedicated to cancer survivors and those lost to the disease, this book offers a raw yet hopeful exploration of survival, compassion, and the fundamental changes that come with confronting one’s mortality.Drawing on the author's deep connection to wild places and natural processes, the poems reflect on the healing power of nature and the pursuit of creative and spiritual expression amidst adversity. This "poetic journey" serves as a recourse for the introspective soul, reminding the reader to look well to the present day and to find a vision of hope in the face of immense struggle. It is a testament to the enduring human spirit and a call for greater compassion for the sick and the well alike.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/97846c30-1f0d-11f1-8c59-7d35fb7764c4-rimg-w686-h740-dca6a6a7-gmir.jpg Jan Hummer, MA (she/her) is the founder of Sycamore Roots, a contemplative practice that supports individuals navigating grief, transition, creativity, and life’s many thresholds.
