Book Description:

'Here is a writer acutely aware of the capacity of language to distort and divert from the truth. His strategy is to make it diaphanous, so that we can see through it. His poems are thin, so that they do not obscure, as in: "Small/ smaller/ the scraps smelt/ in prayer/ attention kneeling wide/ open wide." The result is a poetry as open to transcendence as a heart in humble prayer' - Luke Bell, OSB, Author of The Meaning of Blue: Recovering a Contemplative Spirit.
