Sinopsi

'This is a book of joy, an Easter of jubilation.áHoliness infuses these poems: holy flights of imagination, holy laughter, holy living in the everyday, and holy resurrection hope.áEven the punishing season of winter is âÇÖa glass of chilled champagne.âÇÖ And angels everywhere-materializing to sing a Bach mass in the middle of the night on an empty street, or maybe dropping in for a summer swim. The energy, the down-to-earth reverence-is all of a piece, creating an abundance of blessings for any reader fortunate enough to step inside the world David Craig writes and lives.'-JILL PELAEZ BAUMGAERTNER, Poetry Editor,áChristian Century'With his immediately recognizable voice-wry but reverent-and uncommonly deft prosodic skill, David CraigâÇÖs new poems serve toáresurrect the beauty of formal structures bearing uncontainable and exultant spirit into view.'-SCOTT CAIRNS, author ofáSlow PilgrimáandáAnaphoraá'David CraigâÇÖs infectious new collectionáEasterácelebrates the being and becoming of the âÇÖunlikely peopleâÇÖ with whom âÇÖGod hangs outâÇÖ (oh, may we be among them!). It is impossible not to revel in its joyful faith. The collection brims with verses that merit meditation (âÇÖJesus waits to realize Himself in the flesh of this world./It was what He was born forâÇÖ) as well as countless expressions of sheer happiness derived from a life that is âÇÖchanging imperceptibly toward the good.âÇÖ CraigâÇÖs gift is to gather the fruit and the fracas of our dailiness and raise them in oblation, without attempting to conceal our rough edges, which are GodâÇÖs to smooth. Easteráis poetry to carry with us, from laughter to prayer, from trial to praise.'-SOFIA M. STARNES, Virginia Poet Laureate, Emerita
