The Scattering of Saints
The Scattering of Saints explores the many ways we are separate - from nature, from self, from each other, and from the transcendent; yet also how we seek to remain as fellow travelers, pilgrims and saints who still kiss family/ destined to arrive someplace holy. Each poem is a numinous thread in a shared fabric of kindness and fun, compassion and humor, and part of an often hilarious world where Richard Brautigan, Gary Snyder, and Wendell Berry won't let the poet sleep, and a world in which the value of the divine plummets to where we . . . cannot trade / a saint for a cup of coffee / nor an angel for a donut. Overall, these are poems of grace, so that it's okay if, like the poet, you wonder at finding yourself . . . last in line / and all the Jesus powers / are gone / Except for the power / to curse fig trees.
