Publisher's Description
Rich, complex, exciting, confusing, life, death, and beyond--all words to capture a bit of truth about this very rich, complex world inhabited by all kinds of individual particles emerging into flora, fauna, animals of all kinds, including humans who together make up a unity. This book is my attempt to celebrate the unity and the diversity. Poetry hints of an openness to complexity while certainty tends to become restrictive dogma. Other Ways means to hint that full meaning, complete certainty, is beyond any human capacity ever to establish. Poetry intends to celebrate the richness that is to be enjoyed even though never fully comprehended.

“Peter Keese has written poems of keen insight and a fullness of heart. He reflects the desire for passion within the church and in everyday life—the kind of visceral longing that humans carry, a longing that moves beyond ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’”
“Read these works by Peter Keese. Read them once, read them twice, and you’ll read them many times. They are fun, tongue-in-cheek, poignant, reflective; they call us to be One; they touch our souls. Read them.”
“Peter Keese invites the reader to join him in these deep reflections on the institutional church as well as the harsh realities of life, love, and death. In a whimsical style, Keese pokes the church with a stick, questioning its ancient—and tired—theology. The result is a refreshing vision that is full of hope, forgiveness, and acceptance. The wisdom in these poems is hard-won and a joy to read.”
