I'm a German songwriter and I'm looking for books by J. Campbell or other authors that deal with topics you can use in writing songs:

Books on the metaphors "singing heart", "broken wings", "wheel in the sky", "rhythm divine", "burning inside" or others.

Books with a poetic approach to myths.

Try the JC Companion. It deals with a variety of subjects, is a good introduction to his work in general, and has a few poems in there as well.
