The poems in this book reflect in some way on either the state of the world or the state of the self, exploring what happens and how we respond when our dreams, our beliefs in what should be, have unraveled.This collection is inspired by a project to let the final lines of other poets be the beginning line of a new poem. While they don't necessarily carry on the same themes as their inspiration, in some small way those poems hopefully create a dialog, an ongoing poetic conversation. All of the 21 poems from that project are included here with other poems interspersed along the way to add to the conversation for a total of 43 poems.

The thirty three poems in this short collection seek hope. They yearn for understanding and meaning, for some order or purpose hidden in life. Venture along to explore God, self, and the world around us.

The 17 poems in this short collection express dismay and anxiety over the state of life in this second decade of the 21st century, from the rise of fascism to the way we treat the earth and each other as we go about our everyday routines. Yet, at the same time, they call us to resistance and change while offering a glimpse of hope for the resurrection of compassion and connection.
