Oh my.... Paul, I went to the shelf to grab my copy of Presence Journal and found "The Locust Years," words rolling around in the air as I read it out loud once again. I love the way the last stanza rolls back on the first, an echo of God's faithfulness to restore, restore, restore. Congratulations on another forthcoming and fine book.
As a professor and poet, I especially loved and appreciated your episode with Stephen Roach on Makers and Mystics. I also deeply empathize with your story, as I have been severely and then chronically ill for five years, and it has pushed us to our limits where only beauty, faith, and love can save you. I’ll be ordering your book! God bless you and yours.
PS-I was on Makers and Mystics, too. And shared my story and book of poetry, Of Wings and Dirt.
"There is no fairness in the years. And yet—the gift."--Yes, this is what all who suffer with Christ find.
Amen!
Paul, the new collection looks beautiful. Congrats, sir!
Thank you, my friend!

I really love the cover art. The style reminds me of William Blake's books that he wrote and illustrated himself.
Ordering!! ✍🏼 I already know it’s going to be incredible.
