Monks Beginning to Waltz

In this collection of poems, faith brings together the mundane and mysterious to explore how the world offers the solace of forgiveness and love as a comfort against loss. A father remakes the world for his son by the stories he tells him. A ghost hums, “believing music can reclaim / anything.” Monks and lovers, soldiers and spouses, angels, artists, ghosts and children wander these poems, hoping that “the point of flesh is love.”
