""""""The Drunken Psalms"""" is an exploration into the queries of faith, life, death, and love. Much as the psalms of the Bible are sacred poems and songs that speak to the nature of God, my poems are feelings, thoughts, and experiences that speak to the nature of my own drunken, slurring spiritual experience- as incredibly broken and unconventional as it is. Human nature is to question, doubt, and explore our own spirituality; I seek to encourage this exploration. This collection holds all the bible belt nostalgia of a fiery, red-brick Southern Baptist Church in late July, while also bringing light to the Church's indiscretions against women, children, people of color, and queer people. These poems were found in the spine of my Bible, engraved into my skin, on the lips of lovers, in nature, in folk songs, and long car rides. They were hidden in the floorboards of my broken homes, the eyes of an addict, and the ceiling of hospital rooms I have stared at. I hope you find the peace in these poems that I have been chasing. - s. Hauff""
