    About this ebook

    This collection of poems moves from themes of transcendence to immanence and explores complex philosophical questions as well as relatable moments and movements in the spiritual life. Nuanced theological and philosophical topics are illuminated in fresh ways with poetic language and images. Poems about the hiddenness of God and poems about fish tacos both find a home in this collection that invites reflection and personal engagement.
