New book of poetry

By

On January 16, 2023

In Books & Movies

I’ve pulled together another collection of my poems in book form… From Unraveled Dreams: A Collection of Poems

The poems in this book reflect in some way on either the state of the world or the state of the self, exploring what happens and how we respond when our dreams, our beliefs in what should be, have unraveled.

This collection is inspired by a project to let the final lines of other poets be the beginning line of a new poem. While they don’t necessarily carry on the same themes as their inspiration, in some small way those poems hopefully create a dialog, an ongoing poetic conversation. All of the 21 poems from that project are included here with other poems interspersed along the way to add to the conversation for a total of 43 poems.

If you’re interested, you can order it from Amazon.com in paperback or as a Kindle e-book.

New book — Bruised Skies

In Books & Movies, Current Events, Poem

I wanted a way to share a few of my poems in a more traditional way so I decided to undertake this small experiment in self-publishing, coming up with this chapbook length book featuring 17 of my poems (12 of which have been previously posted on this blog). If you’re interested, you can buy it from Amazon now. Other booksellers should also have the ability to order it – if not immediately then in the near future.

Bruised Skies: Poems in Response to A World Gone Mad

The 17 poems in this short collection express dismay and anxiety over the state of life in this second decade of the 21stcentury, from the rise of fascism to the way we treat the earth and each other as we go about our everyday routines. Yet, at the same time, they call us to resistance and change while offering a glimpse of hope for the resurrection of compassion and connection.

“Out of the Ashes” is Here!

By

I’m excited to announce that my book, “Out of the Ashes: Constructive Theology for Those Burned Out on Christianity,” is finally at the printers. Please check it out! It can be pre-ordered at a discounted price through Monday, August 14, at the publisher’s website (see below).

Who might be interested, you ask?

* Progressive Christians
* Anyone who is interested in their spirituality but who is put off or disillusioned by traditional Christian doctrine
* Anyone who was raised as a Christian but isn’t sure what they believe any more
* Anyone who thinks fundamentalism represents all Christians (it doesn’t – despite the impression the media gives us)

By looking at Christian beliefs and the Christian way of life in new ways, the book seeks to help readers open themselves to some of the alternatives to the fundamentalist and often oppressive Christianity that is too often assumed to represent all followers of Christ.

I’ve set up a web page with more information about the book as well as ordering links at http://www.pieceofthepuzzle.net/outoftheashes/. I’ll add additional links and ways to order as they are available.
