About this ebook
Wounded children, a supermarket cashier, a mountain forest, a FedEx courier, a self-storage rental unit as metaphor, alcohol as mistress, reality checks ... these and other poem portraits testify to the many faces and rhythms of Grace — emotional, spiritual, psychological, physical — as it moves through intimate relationships of ordinary people.
