Description
This collection of poems originated in the poets experience of going to church for the first time at the age of twenty-six. The first section, entitled Church is about the early times, observations, feelings, questions. The second section, State is about the state of religion in the world today, addressing televangelists, homophobia based in Scripture, and other areas where religion affects daily life. The segue between the two is a long poem entitled Chronicles which is composed of the first and last verses of books of the Old Testament, pieced together to tell their own story much as believers use passages, often out of context, to support their beliefs.
