Back To Nirvana: Dharma Diary Poems Volume III continues the healing journey of Joy's earlier volumes through mindfulness and realisations into the beauty of Presence. Experiencing Nirvana in glimpses of life's natural splendour, through difficulties and wonders, is poetically expressed through the eyes of love.

Joy Magezis is an ordained member of the Core Community of the Order of Interbeing, established by Zen Master

Thich Nhat Hanh. This collection includes poems about her practice with the Sangha both in Britain and Plum Village, France.

An Usui Reiki Master, Joy explores experiences teaching and practicing Reiki. As a long-time socially engaged activist, she writes about movements for Peace and Justice. And her Jewish cultural roots are reflected in this volume.

Of The Universe for Breakfast, Here & Now said: 'These poems beautifully reflect her Buddhist commitment and world view, her struggles and their resolution or acceptance...The author does not shy away from addressing political inequalities and brutalities, but she also has an eye or ear for the beauty of the sun, a bird song, dew drops. I found the poems very nourishing...'

Joy's poetry has appeared in The Mindfulness Bell, Here & Now, Visions of the City Magazine and WYSING Arts Publication. As an international author and college lecturer, her classic Women's Studies text and novels were published in various languages.

Volume I was nominated for People's Book Prize
