About The God-like Things:
This collection of poetry explores the depth of the human connection – its memories, mysteries, and unique physical wild lands. Walking the distances carved and craved from intimacy, we are led along the circling stairways of life; of the houses we live in, carry, build, and those unlived-in. The poems smell of faith, stars and campfires, with a mystical sense of storytelling, as if following threads of water with each page turning, unveiling layers of the human condition and our capacity for love, despite loss and separation. What emerges is a love story, a hope story, and a story of trust.
At once lyrical and visceral, sensate and esoteric, vulnerable and daring, seductive and ethereal, the poems offer sincere depth; dialogue with time, myth and place; moving seamlessly between philosophical curiosity, folk wisdom and sentimentality, as the author weaves the spiritual within the physical and emotional landscapes of relationships, with an empathic hand. Soul-soothing and providing a warm shelter within words, the story feels like a mother singing us back home, back to our hearts, to settle safely into the core of who we are. From the tangible everyday to the vastness of imagination, this book is a beautiful reminder of the infinite possibilities in the ordinary gestures of our human moments.
