Be Thou My Song
$12.95

“Be Thou my Song” is a line from seventeenth-century poet Edward Taylor. In his meditation on Philippians 2:9, Taylor finds that his ability to compose poetry falls short of his desire to glorify God, so he prays, “That I thy glorious Praise may Trumpet right, / Be thou my Song, and make Lord, mee thy Pipe.” In one way or another, all of the poets included in the chapters of Be Thou My Song strive to convey their wonder for God’s unending grace and mercy in their own limited ways; He provides the content, the song, while the writers are merely the conduits, the pipe. By reading these poems carefully, we can share in their gratitude for how God cares for us, both here on earth and in our final heavenly home.

In each chapter, you will find a poem, presented in its entirety, followed by an exploration of that poem and some questions to contemplate afterwards. The goal of these explorations is to provide readers with a deeper appreciation, a deeper understanding, and a deeper love of what each poet has given to us.

Holy Land : Poems
$21.00

“Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” -Exodus 3:5″The Holy Land is everywhere.” -Black Elk

The two epigraphs that preface Angela Alaimo O’Donnell’s Holy Land introduce the reader to the central theme that permeates her poems: that holy places deserve to be regarded with reverence and that all places are holy places. In her afterward, the poet traces these foundational concepts to her Catholic childhood wherein religious instruction consisted largely of memorizing the Baltimore Catechism. “One of questions the Catechism poses is ‘Where is God?’ The answer is ‘God is everywhere.’ We believed this to be true. God was in church, but God was also in our house (a crucifix in every room), in the backyard, in our Buick (rosary beads swinging from the rearview mirror), at our birthday parties in the basement, and in our own bodies. And though those places may not sound very holy, they were. Because God was there. Is there.”

In addition to affirming this foundational belief, these poems extend the terrain, moving beyond the geographical and the physical to the temporal, the carnal, the intellectual, and the spiritual realms. They assert that our days are blessed, our bodies are blessed, our minds and souls are all blessed and sacred ground. The poet explores a broad spectrum of physical locations, beginning with poems set in the Holy Land and moving on to places closer to home, ranging from the west of Ireland to rural Minnesota, from New York City to the Texas border. She also probes the temporal spaces we occupy, experiences of death and birth, love and loss, desire and desolation that mark our human passage.

The English word holy is related to the Germanic word heilig, a word that means blessed and also carries within it the idea of wholeness. Holy Land attempts to honor both the holiness and the wholeness of our world-from Gotham to Golgotha, the Bronx River to the Sea of Galilee-and to honor the holiness and wholeness of our blessed and broken humanity.

Language Of The Birds
$21.00

According to legend, the language of the birds was a mystical language God used to talk with Adam and Eve when he walked with them in the garden of Eden. Amy Nemecek listens for this divine dialect as she communes with God on her walks along country roads and creek banks, through forests and hayfields. She observes the world around her with expectation, knowing that God still speaks to us as he is at work making all things new. If we have ears to hear, we can catch snippets of his grace in the watercolor silhouette of a bird, the thrum of a tractor engine, the tang of a grapefruit, the curvature of an ampersand. Amy doesn’t want to miss any of it, so she remains attentive to the smooth grit of beach sand, the tendrils of a nebula, and the steady gaze of a fossil. She delights in the details, and you will too.

In this collection of lyric and narrative poems, you are invited to walk with her as she reflects on larger themes of beauty, loss, motherhood, family, and vocation. She contemplates the sacredness of ordinary moments that we usually don’t recognize except in hindsight. Twining through every line is an aching hopefulness that ties together her love of words, her devotion to scripture, and her deep gratitude for each of life’s joys and griefs.

Christian Poetry In America Since 1940
$25.00

Showcasing thirty-five American poets born in or after 1940, this anthology confirms that one of the most vibrant developments in contemporary verse has been a renewed engagement with the Christian faith. Across a full spectrum of Christian belief, including the struggle to believe at all, these poets bring the power of their art to bear on serious questions: how to understand the goodness of God in a fallen and tragic world, how to reconcile universal truths with the particularities of human experience, how to render familiar events of salvation history in new language that generates its own epiphanies. As Christian engagement assumes a multiplicity of modes and voices, so does contemporary poetry in America. This volume, then, selective yet representative, features the work of early-, mid-, and late-career poets, formalists, free-verse poets, and experimenters in prosody. This anthology bears witness to the poetic mind as it seeks that which is above.

From Shade To Shine
$20.00

This collection of poems begins in the growing darkness of November, stretches through Advent and the seasons leading to Easter and to Pentecost, and ends in the budding light of the Scottish Orkney Islands, where the canonical hours measure time over centuries and where God broods over an austere and beautiful landscape. The measurement of time passing and returning, year after year, in the rhythms of the seasons and of the liturgical year, create the pace and the song. But in the biblical voices of Magdalene, Mary, Abel, and Eve, and in the grim historical and political realities of war and suffering, one also hears lament and finds the poet’s clear-eyed gaze straight into life’s challenges. Memory is at work here, too, in personal reminiscences and in theological reflection. As one philosopher has said, “All truth is God’s truth.”

Angels Everywhere : Poems
$19.00

“The word ‘angel’ means ‘messenger’ and the title poem of this book, ‘Angels Everywhere, ‘ presents the idea that what I often glimpse is a flicker of glancing light, as if a heavenly being is darting in and out of my viewing, allowing me entry into a realm beyond my physical, experiential world–brief revelatory messages from somewhere beyond. I’m hoping that as you read these poems, (more than once, aloud if possible) something like Wordsworth’s ‘intimations of immortality’ will enliven your own perceptions of the world as you experience it. Maybe your own fleet of angels will show up!” –Luci Shaw, from the Introduction

Begin With A Question
$20.00

Begin with a Question explores how the life of faith is a continuous voyage, launched anew each bright day of the spirit or dark night of the soul. This is a book of contemplation and motion, a journey–often in stops and starts–toward the Divine, a pilgrimage paved with prayer, praise, pause, penitence, and (of course) questions. Urgent and universal, joyful or joyless, tinged with doubt or rinsed with hope, here are honest queries that probe, lift, and lead to discovery. Begin with a Question keeps us moving, seeking, reaching, lifting us out of ourselves to something beyond. Using a variety of fixed forms and free verse, the poet examines our relationship to the one who asks, “Who do you say that I am?” A book for seekers, doubters, and believers alike, these poems bring us face to face with anguish, anger, awe, and adoration. They give us permission not to demand answers, but to follow the questions that lead to the Alpha and Omega, to the I AM that keeps us spiraling along this twisting path toward God.

Raising The Sparks
$19.00

Raising the Sparks, Jennifer Wallace’s sixth poetry collection, is inspired by the alignment of Christian and Judaic traditions. The idea of raising the sparks, tikkun olam, comes from 16th century mystical Judaism–the belief that, if people worked to “gather or raise the sparks” from the sacred vessels that shattered at the moment of creation, a repair of the world from its initial splitting would be complete. It is the duty of each one of us to raise the sparks from wherever they are imprisoned and to elevate them to holiness. Also informing this work is the Jesuit idea of finding God in all things and conversing (without clerical intervention) directly with Jesus. The poems in this collection engage with these theological traditions by witnessing the human joys and challenges of attending to their mandates.

Litany Of Flights
$21.00

Winner of the 2020 Paraclete Poetry Prize, Litany of Flights is a luminous examination of the journey of the soul, from moments of loss to moments of incandescent transformation. These poems remind us to behold the extraordinary in the ordinary, and that the secret workings of the divine occur even through the difficult: “the painful paring of your hollow bones has made you light.” Drawing on the beauty of the natural world, the devastating effects of drought and wildfires, tender moments of daily experience, and lessons of the saints, the poet creates a landscape of light and darkness, with unexpected turns into divine presence and absence. Through a spiral of red-tailed hawks, the nest of a mourning dove, the parting of waters, and the ripeness of a persimmon, this shimmering collection invites the reader to singular and transfiguring flight.

Litany of Flights
(from the forthcoming collection)

First, the winged movement, steady, forward. Scrub jays in flitting
progress, hawks in predator glide, a ringing up, a knife-sharp slope

down. Second, the effortless type, wind-splayed, motionless pinions
in thermal recline, as the Psalmist says, blessings breeze his love even

in sleep. Third, the hungry, against the gale, the destination singular
and the sun dipping crimson. Fourth, the metallic, business or pleasure.

Fifth, the whirring kind, all hummingbird. A picnic, apples and chocolate
in the garden with roses, both flower and child. You miss it when it’s gone.

Sixth, a baffling flight of stairs, winding upward, passage and yet vehicle,
spiraling to unseen landings-hope courses in the kaleidoscopic lights.

Seventh, soar to the sun. Eighth, melt in bitter hubris. You know the story.
Ninth, escape. A flight out of Egypt, a path through the sea cleared by

divine hand. The times you ran, the times you were left behind in lament.
Tenth, only rotting in the belly of a whale tames your stubborn turn from

Nineveh. Eleventh, flights of despair and of yearning, two sides of one
letting go, hard-earned release back into the wild, unbound by expectation,

featherlike. Twelfth, in a moment, caught up high by the Beloved, the one
making all things work together, wings, body, arch, air-caught up, like the

Shulamite bride, to regions beyond aeronautical wisdom, transported in joy.
See, he says, the painful paring of your hollow bones has made you light.

Therese : Poems
$21.00

In this collection, poet Sarah Law presents lucid, lyrical reflections on the much-loved saint, Therese of Lisieux (1873-97), whose life and writing has been an inspiration to so many people. For Sarah Law, there is something about Therese that catches at the heart, and her poems flow from that sense of friendship and tenderness with her subject. Many of the poems meditate on events, large and small, in Therese’s brief but spiritually significant life. The first section explores her childhood, and the second, her nine precious years as a Carmelite nun; years of both sweetness and suffering. Several poems are inspired by well-known photographs of Therese, some of which are included in this volume. A final section considers Therese’s legacy, as her ‘little way’ of confidence and love became known throughout the world. Each poem may be read as an individual reflection, and as part of the larger biographical sequence.

Madonna Complex
$14.00

What does it mean to say yes?–to God, to the Spirit, to art, to love, to motherhood, to the dazzling & tangible world? Mary’s response to the angel, saying “Let it be to me as you have said,” is an essential moment in the life of a disciple, a woman, and an artist. In Madonna, Complex, Mary’s “yes” is a moment of opening, of allowing her very body to become a co-creator with God and a conduit for the coming of grace into the world. However, womanhood in all its fullness–sexuality, marriage, infertility, childbirth, nursing–inevitably complicates traditional Christian imagery of Mary. Madonna, Complex chronicles a feminine faith journey alongside saints like Joan of Arc and Saint Kateri, images of motherhood in visual art, through holy days of the Christian calendar–Ash Wednesday, Holy Saturday, All Saints Day–and sites of pilgrimage, cathedrals, wilderness, and other places holiness can be found. These poems explore the complexities of the messages we receive about what it means to say yes to God, or to something larger than ourselves that demands our attention and energy, whether it’s bearing a child or participating in a political protest.

Probing Eyes : Poems Of A Lifetime, 1959-2019
$16.99

Probing Eyes is a collection of 156 poems written over a period of 60 years by a Christian professor of English literature. The first and largest section is called “Scriptural Extensions,” and it seeks to throw fresh light on various Scriptural situations by either projecting the personality of a character though a dramatic monologue or offering a fresh slant on the events depicted. These poems proceed from asking the question, “I wonder what this biblical character was thinking in the midst of these events.” The second section, “Interactions,” presents some of the author’s experiences in interfacing with others, from family and friends to people only casually known. The third section, “Perspectives on Time, consists of poems written mostly as New Year’s meditations, dealing with how we as Christians are affected by the passage of time; while the inexorable flow of time reminds of our finiteness and mortality, it also challenges us to understand how God, Who is timeless, is master of our limitations. The final section, “Personal and Meditative,” is a miscellanea of personal and occasional ruminations, some serious and others playful. The book has four indexes to facilitate finding a poem by title, chronological placement, Scriptural reference, or topic. The author hopes that these poems will thus lend themselves to use for private Bible study and sermon or worship application. The most fruitful reading of the poems, especially of those for which a Scriptural reference is given, will come from a careful look at the relevant biblical texts.

This book is not presented as the work of a main-stream poet, for Prof. Higgs has pursued his poetry writing as an avocation, not a profession. He has opted for clarity over artistic sophistication, which may not commend him to contemporary critics and practitioners of poetic composition. At the same time, the author aspires to go beyond the kind of religious versification whose primary purpose is to convey a moral lesson through rhyming lines. That is not an ignoble objective, but it does not embrace a full participation in the linguistic complexity that characterizes serious poetry. Dr. Higgs seeks in his poems to combine the beauty of art with the beauty of Truth, and thereby to stimulate fresh attention to who God is and how He works with the people of His creation.

The style of Probing Eyes is mainly free verse, but with regular use of internal rhyme, assonance, and alliteration. The reader may see reflected i

Mystery Of It All
$25.00

Paul Mariani has spent the past fifty years trying to write a poetry which celebrates the vibrant sacramentality of life in the twilight of Modernity. Many of those years he spent writing the lives of Williams, Berryman, Lowell, Hart Crane, Stevens, and Hopkins, the Jesuit responsible for Mariani’s becoming a poet in the first place. “It is difficult,” Williams wrote, “to get the news from poems/ yet men die miserably every day/ for lack/ of what is found there.” Still, he pleaded to be heard, which is what Mariani asks of us now, as he celebrates a poetry which speaks even more directly of what the good news is.

Anaphora : New Poems
$20.00

Anaphora-the repetition of a word or phrase-is a strategy that assists coherence, and draws attention to the repeated terms. In Eucharistic settings, it also indicates the specific liturgical moment when the bread and wine are consecrated, becoming what we in the Eastern Church are pleased to name the Holy Mysteries. Certain poems in this collection employ overt anaphora; many do not. Still, they invite a sense of words as doing more than naming, more than serving as arrows pointing to prior substance; intermittently, these words may acquire due substance of their own, partaking of more than is apparent, but is nonetheless so, and is present.

Dreaming Of Stones
$18.00

The poems in Dreaming of Stones are about what endures: hope and desire, changing seasons, wild places, love, and the wisdom of mystics. Inspired by the poet’s time living in Ireland these readings invite you into deeper ways of seeing the world. They have an incantational quality. Drawing on her commitment as a Benedictine oblate, the poems arise out of a practice of sitting in silence and lectio divina, in which life becomes the holy text.

No stranger to poetry, Paintner’s bestselling spirituality titles have often included poems. In this first exclusively poetic collection, she writes with a contemplative heart about kinship with nature, ancestral connections, intimacy, the landscape, the unfolding nature of time, and Christian mystics. It can be read for reflection to spark the heart and to offer solace and inspiration in difficult times. Breath

Reaching Forever : Poems
$19.00

Reaching Forever is Philip C. Kolin’s ninth collection of poems, the sixth to focus entirely on spiritual poetry. Like the poet’s most recent book, Benedict’s Daughter: Poems (2017), the poems in this new collection are anchored in Scripture.

Organized according to major Christian topics-sheep, water, God’s names, eschatology-Reaching Forever is ripe with scriptural parables, symbols and imagery, settings, allusions, and speakers ranging from God to biblical characters to contemporary figures. Consistent with the Poiema Series, these poems open the “windows” of faith. But they are not simple catechesis. Rather, they “leap over the sills,” to quote D. S. Martin, providing new ways of looking at Holy Writ and applying them to today’s world-to see the sacred in the daily.

Undeniably the most distinctive feature of Reaching Forever is the large number of poems set in the contemporary world, but contextualized through the Bible. For instance, a poem on the polyandrous Samaritan woman is paired with one about a homeless woman in a large city who also has had many husbands and children. A long litany poem about God’s appearances in Scripture is followed by one on catadores (garbage pickers) who hear rumbling below the filth and wonder what God’s voice is saying. A short poem on the riches of Cana seques to a spiritual lyric about monks who transform donors’ pennies into bread for the poor.

Water At The Roots
$16.00

In a society uprooted by war, industrialization, hate-filled ideology, and dehumanizing technology, a revolutionary farmer-poet reconnects his people to the land and one another.
Something of a British Wendell Berry, Philip Britts (1917-1949) was a soft-spoken West Country farmer, poet, activist, and mystic. Even as his country plunged headlong into a second world war, he sought a way of life where people could work together in harmony with nature and one another. He found an answer, though it would cost him his land and his life.
These were years of turbulence and disillusionment, in Europe and beyond. Why had progress brought with it so much suffering? Britts saw that in losing our connection to nature and the earth, we are losing our humanity – our connection to one another. He watched as his friends in the peace movement, socialist circles, and Christian churches joined the battle against Hitler, but he refused to resort to violence. Instead he threw himself into an attempt to live out the radical demands of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount on a personal and local level in community.

Britts’s story is no romantic agrarian elegy, but a life lived in the thick of history. The international pacifist community he joined, the Bruderhof, was soon forced to flee Europe. Now the earth he tilled was no longer the moist soil of his homeland, but a harsh tropical climate of drought, locusts, and blight. A highly trained horticulturalist, he loved working the land and discovering new wonders of nature, “to see in growing corn the fingerprints of God.” And his expertise and research helped alleviate hunger in Paraguay and Brazil. But now the soil was also shoveled over babies’ graves, and soon Britts himself contracted a rare tropical disease that would take his life at the age of thirty-one, leaving behind a wife and three young children.

Philip Britts’s generation faced great dangers and upheavals, as does ours. His response – to root himself in God, to dedicate himself to a community, to restore the land he farmed, and to use his gift with words to turn people from their madness – speaks into our age just as forcefully. The life he chose, as well as his poetry, remain a prophetic challenge in a time still wracked by war, racism, nationalism, materialism, and ecological devastation. Britts’s insights into our relationship with the natural environment are particularly poignant now that we are even more aware of its fragility.

Habitation Of Wonder
$38.00

Habitation of Wonder is an offering of poems that travels the intersection of the natural landscape and the landscape of spirit. Here, the moon is a “”white comma / in the breath of space.”” Crocuses are “”ephemeral prophets, first of the sun’s spring projects.”” The ocean is “”a vast / perpetual sacrifice on the altar / of the shell-glittering shore.”” The collection opens with “”Genesis,”” a reimagining of the creation story with song as the divine instrument of creation. Five themed sections flow from “”Genesis”” like a musical thread, investigating the material elements from which we originate and in which we take shelter, as well as the gifts of language and faith, which make us more than merely “”a constellation of salts.”” In its own way, each poem invites the reader to “”tenant beauty””–as well as to tenant uncertainty. When beauty and uncertainty collide, they spark wonder. As these poems suggest, wonder is simply another name for the world in which we live–and the world that lives in us.

Communion Of Saints
$21.00

This collection of poems explores the saints of the church’s history and contemporary persons who embody something of their charism. Three sections are arranged around the themes of the three “theological virtues”: faith, portrayed as a source of strength in times of trial; hope, the darkest in the book, dealing with matters of the body’s frailty, illness, social discrimination, and the search for a way to live within the constraints of society; and love, offering a panoply of outward-looking characters who give to others in radical or personal ways. The volume ends with a cycle of Franciscan poems that offer a model for the Christian life, not simply in terms of individual moments but also as a complete life-cycle of practice and prayer.

Narrative Poems

C.S. Lewis often said that the narrative poem was his favorite form of literary expression, although he appears to have written just four, all of which are collected in this volume. Of these, only “Dymer” was published in his lifetime. These four poems exhibit the romantic aspects of Lewis’s temperment and reveal his deep love for the medieval of Renaissance poetry on which they are modeled.

Thieves Of The Sky
$14.98

When I started thinking about my poetry book I decided to write about things that I love and enjoy so much. I feel for poems come out right and enjoyable the poet has to be genuine and true about her feelings and what to write about and word must come from the heart. Also the vocabulary and expressions used must reflect a mastery of the language to choose the most suitable words that will be great match perfect for each situation, that is a skill and a gift that God had blessed me with an I am thankful for that. I have also chosen my subjects and situations based on the simple things in life that people enjoy and find it close to their hearts because I believe that when it comes to poetry the simpler the better. I have also written about a range of topics to make it exciting and give the reader the experience and enjoy different situations and reflections, after all variety is the spice of life. Some of the topics that I picked for my reflections and poems were included animals, nature, cultures and values, and faraway places. I am a huge animal lover and you will feel that throughout this book, I spend a lot of my time looking at them, watching animals and wildlife shows, going to zoos and aquariums. The animal world that shares our planet, there is so much beauty and serenity in connection with nature and learn many lessons in struggle, hard work, and motherhood. However, not everything in the animal kingdom is rosy fairy tales of beautiful fur, colorful feathers, and fluffy cubs, there are also a lot of savagery, blood, and cruel fight for survival. I felt to covey that world as it is just like it takes place in nature in a very unique way that hasn’t been described before that that reader will find interesting and amusing. In “”Thieves of the Sky,”” “”Dracula of the Jungle,”” “”I smell Blood,”” “”Gentle Giants,”” and “”Racing the Wind”” I spoke of the beauty and of heartwarming sights and discipline of these animals, but at the same time I uncovered their schemes and manipulation in stalking their Prays and tearing them apart in cruel and bloody manner as a mean of survival and domination of the strong over the venerable. In a related topic, but also a matter of principle I wanted to make my voice heard to add that to the many calls and protests against the brutality and savagery oh bullfighting in Spain and other places. The torture and sedition that is inflicted on that poor creature is beyond comprehension. I wanted to portray that in an imaginativ

I Pray In Poems
$21.95

Ideal gift book
* Field-tested as a small group study resource; useful in small groups and for individual devotion

I pray in poems explores the intersection of great works of poetry and faith, offering meditations on what these works illustrate about Christian living. Readers will encounter authors as diverse as William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Rumi, Mary Oliver, and Anna Kamienska. Each poem is followed by an analytical reflection that explores the work and places it within the context of one or more biblical passages. These meditations will assist the reader in understanding and appreciating the poetry, and will also offer insightful, perhaps even inspiring, thoughts on what it means to live a life in faith.

The book is designed to engage all Christians (especially those who don’t think they like poetry), and to challenge anyone who thinks the arts are of little significance to religious life. The study of poetry, its rich language and evocative imagery, deepens an understanding of our spiritual lives and our relationships with God and each other.

I pray in poems contains 20 meditations, organized around the liturgical seasons, and can serve as facilitation for personal devotion or as a resource for small group discussions.

For Better Or For Verse
$13.26

So tiny and helpless, so sweet and so mild,
so dependent and loving-this beautiful child.
A gem, a jewel, a precious pearl-
such a wonderful gift, this little girl.
I can reduce any man to a weeping pile,
but all it takes is that little smile,
and now I’m mush …

-Tom Gusky

Tom Gusky does not believe in fifty dollar words or mysterious hidden messages in his poetry. Instead, he prefers to share a tender and sometimes tongue-in-cheek lyrical view of life that reflects on the bonds of family love, the trials and joys of raising children, and the experiences that draw all of us closer to God.

Tom injects humor and emotion in poems for the masses that reflect on his observations about the pilot of his family’s ship as well as an angel in diapers, the face of God, the cycle of life, and the journey of a man as he ages. Throughout each verse, Tom offers gentle reminders about the important things in life: faith, family, and unconditional love.

For Better or for Verse shares a collection of thought-provoking poetry as one man looks back on all the joys and sorrows of a life well lived.

Message Maker : Words From A World Away

Some of her poems, such as The Eleventh Hour relate to events that have touched her life; others consider God’s love and Scriptures and their effect on His children.

Follow Me opened the gateway for all of the poems that followed. Each poem has been written with love and spirituality, and each has deeply touched her own prayer life. Now she shares them, seeking to guide you on your own journey and bring you the knowledge of God’s immense love for you.

Naked Tree : Love Sonnets To C S Lewis And Other Poems

Glimpse Into My Life Through Prose And Poetry
$18.11

During my first years of school, I caught pure hell. I was bullied each and every day. Kids would attack me with “O dumb fly”; I would be standing, talking to some one and another person would pretend to smell me, then say ” he’s ate some shit because he stinks”! Then they would all run away from me. Just try to feel what I felt as a kid. Besides that, my cloths were tattered, faded and dyed. Same colored shirts and pants, but mine came from “GoodWill” and was either patched, sewed or faded. Coats had holes. Mama could only buy one pair of shoes for me/ no two, because I did have a dressed pair to wear to church, but my every day shoes were brogans. Brogans were black boots that had big steel taps on the front and the back of the soles. One could literally hear me coming from a block away.
I had a fight of some sort almost every day. Incidentally, my Mama enrolled me into Catholic School. (Light blue shirts dark blue pants and ties.). Had I been going to school in this day and time, I would have been a fashion statement.

Word In My Mouth Selected Spiritual Poems
$26.00

These poems–selected from the past three decades–are firmly rooted in what Richard Wilbur called the “hunks and colors of the world.” They faithfully try to take into account a world we did not make and, at the same time, record the terrifying and painful contradictions of human experience. And finally, they try to do so while remaining open to the intrinsic joy of being. These are poems rooted in the belief that words can invoke those presences which bring us back, again and again, to the fundamental experience of being: that there is something rather than nothing. The poems in A Word In My Mouth embody, as Czeslaw Milosz puts it, “the double life of our common human circumstance as beings in between the dust that we are and the divinity to which we would aspire.” “Over decades, Robert Cording has created a body of poetry that can bear serious comparison with the tradition of English-language spiritual poetry.

Gold
$13.00

Barbara Crooker’s new book Gold focuses on one of the most profound life-altering experiences possible: losing one’s mother. This collection is an elegy, not just to the speaker’s mother, but to a lost Eden that cannot be reclaimed. Beginning with a series of lyrics set in autumn, the poems become more narrative, recounting the long illness of Crooker’s mother, her death, and the profound journey along the shores of grief. Throughout, Crooker is aware of the complexity and strength of the mother/daughter relationship and the chasm that this loss opens. The book includes other themes: poems about aging and the body, the loss of friends, the difficulties and joys in a long-term marriage, and always, the subtle ways faith influences the way Crooker experiences life. Her work has great scope, spanning the globe from rural Pennsylvania to Ireland, and reaching not just within herself but also outside of herself, to ekphrastic poems on the paintings of Gorky, Manet, Matisse, and others. This is the book of a mature writer, one who demonstrates an awareness of our own impermanence, our brokenness, and one who knows that if our parents go before us, we will have to learn to live with loss. In this book, we see the redemptive power of poetry itself to heal and to console.

Particular Scandals A Book Of Poems
$15.00

Broad in scope–theological, ecological, and personal–and acutely particular in details–witnessed and lived–the affecting poems in Particular Scandals explore how one endures suffering, avoiding the cliches of both bitterness and transcendence. Thus, while Moore’s poetry depicts the debilitating ruin illness wreaks, it also embraces the beauty and mystery in creation, in faith, even in tribulation itself. At the book’s core is pure paradox and insightful integration, wedding Christmas–Christ’s incarnation and eventual, willing sacrifice–to pain and grief. Thus, on the heels of Moore’s multiple surgeries and amid her husband’s serious heart problem–both while in their forties–come ”flashes of hallelujah” and songs knit with Amens ”un- / broken, like a world without end.” Empathetic and observant, Moore’s evocative poems also turn their attention to friends’ and other family members’ appalling losses: a stillborn infant, suicidal adolescents, molested, and trafficked children. All in all, the book portrays how Moore survives like the Sycamore tree in one of her poems, ”scabbed and scarred from moments like this,” offering her ”empty self / like a cup to the Lord of the storm.”

In God’s Word, we are encouraged to let our hearts soar spiritually to heights above painful experiences, sorrow, and disappointments. That is the message of this book. Everyone needs encouragement, hope, and comfort as the events of life unfold. Sometimes, we need a reminder that God is watching over us and has His arms outstretched to us always. Sometimes, we need to choose between where we are and where we need to go spiritually and emotionally. The free verse poems in AS EAGLES FLY are written as a suggestion of how high we may aspire to go if we break free of feelings and attitudes that would keep us looking down. ” SEQ CHAPTER h r 1Patricia and Sharron have hit the mark! These poems inspire one to look up and live above the adversities that inevitably come our way. They go right to the heart and bring a unique perspective to life in this modern world. The collection ought to carry a by-line from Philippians 4:8: ‘…think on these things.'” –Sam Brockway, Pastor, Fortress Fellowship, Lawrenceville, Georgia Patricia McKay and Sharron McKee, both retired educators, collaborated in the writing of this book of free verse poems because of their shared heart desire to instruct and encourage Christians to live above the circumstances of life.

Imago Dei : Poems From Christianity And Literature
$29.98

Imago Dei brings together a collection of poets who merge faith, literature, and art as a form of worship and inspiration.

An anthology of the best poems published in the journal Christianity and Literature over the past sixty years, Imago Dei brings together in one volume poetry which exemplifies the richness and variety of the art. These poems find beauty in the concrete and particular, but they also ask the big questions: Why do we exist? Who is God? Where do we find God? What does the Incarnation mean? When does God speak to us, and why is God silent?

These poets all have in common an awareness of human experience as part of a grand narrative, of the Imago Dei embedded in human nature, and of the sense of connection to something much larger than themselves. These are poems written from within a theological tradition, though they are not necessarily traditional in form or expression. They upset the usual in their originality; they are Worded words, connected to our earthly life but pointed toward the Kingdom of God; they are redemptive words made flesh.

Included in the over one hundred poets represented here are Wendell Berry, Mark Jarmon, Jeanne Murray Walker, Dana Gioa, Martha Serpas, Luci Shaw, and Robert Siegel. All of the poets in this collection grapple with what Imago Dei means for them as readers, writers, artists, teachers, and students.

Truthful Color Of God
$10.00

How soon do we realize that what we have in our hands is the one thing that we really yearn for? Think of love, chances, and relationships beyond recall, and the regrets that come along. Why does the truth escape us at the time it matters most to us? The Truthful Color of God reflects on such instances in the life of its creator. In “You Are My Soul,” for example, Tho Pham plays with the thought of the convenience of a time machine to change the past in light of recent realization.

The Truthful Color of God reflects on the cosmological continuum and how Christianity figures in it.

Tangible Thoughts 1
$33.11

Tangible Thoughts Vol. 1: Inner City Blues is the first installment of a collection of poems influenced by the experiences of Nicole Williams. She has catalogued in each poem an element of the environment in which she grew up. The title “Inner City Blues” was inspired by the Marvin Gaye song “Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)”.

Additional Info
Edmund Spenser (1559-99) has earned the title ‘the poet’s poet’ because of the high poetry of his epic and because so many great poets, including Milton, Dryden, Tennyson, and Keats, cut their poetic teeth on The Faerie Queene.

The hero of Book II is Sir Guyon, the knight of Temperance. But do not let that throw you. This is not a poem about teetotalism. As C.S. Lewis puts it, The Faerie Queene ‘demands of us a child’s love of marvels and dread of bogies, a boy’s thirst for adventures, a young man’s passions for physical beauty.

Following in the wake of Roy Maynard’s Fierce Wars and Faithful Loves, Toby Sumpter’s notes are insightful and humorous making this great Christian epic poem accessible for modern readers. The Elfin Knight makes an excellent choice as a homeschool or classroom text.

Dared To Be Me
$19.36

Dared To Be Me is a reflection of a damaged soul, a darkened state of being, and the affects of rebellion due to pain. It expresses hope, through Jesus Christ. The problem is finding the way back to His marvelous light. It is a lifestyle captured through poetry, expressing feelings of despair, anger, bitterness, and loss. It attempts to reveal the importance of love, but beyond that the misery of disconnection. However, when God is revealed and salvation is granted, the reality becomes His will. Past experience of rebellion is replaced with joy and obedience. Recognition, at last, to live life God’s way!

How To Walk In Christ
$47.48

Sin cannot be gotten rid of by sinfulness.
Unrighteousness cannot sprout forth righteousness.
An unjust condition cannot bring about justification.
From an unsanctified condition, sanctification can never grow.
From unholiness, holiness cannot possibly be brought into reality.
And an incapacitated moral nature can never bring about a proper moral condition.
Trying within our own strength, ability, and capacities to bring about what God desires for us, is like trying to get flood waters to dry up by throwing buckets of water on them. It could also be compared to trying to put out a fire with a flame thrower, or even like trying to paint a wall white, by using black paint.

I Envy Birds
$22.48

My father, Joe B. Chapman, was shuffled from town to town during his childhood as his father followed work on the pipeline. He saw many places and met many people. Texas A&M was the college of his choice and where he earned a degree in Industrial Engineering. His education enabled him to pursue a career which enabled him to see what was once considered the far and exotic reaches of the earth. Not only did my father obtain the knowledge found in books, but he saw the mysteries of other cultures. By human standards, you could say that my dad, although not of noble birth, was influential in his field and has great wisdom. (I Corinthians 1:25-31) these verses teach us, the foolish things of the world can confound the wise. Daddy understands this truth and he has kept his eyes on the Lord and trusted in the Lord’s wisdom and guidance throughout his life. When he tells stories of his travels in the past, he does not boast of the things he has seen or done, but he boasts of what the Lord has allowed him to see and experience as well as the protection He has afforded my dad. By God’s standards, my dad is of noble birth. He is covered in the righteousness of Jesus, which makes him a joint heir in all that God has and loves to give to His children. What my dad wants you to know, and tells you through his poetry is that you too can be a child of The King. You can be redeemed and sanctified by God and you too can boast in the Lord. Written by Pamela Chapman Barrett. (Joe’s Daughter)
