Publisher's Description
In this collection I offer perspectives regarding spirituality, faith, and religion. Rather than attempting to proselytize or offer pat answers and dogma, I explore memory and experience tied to a Christian upbringing--an upbringing that resonates with imagery and emotion whose power and depth is lasting. Though much of the inspiration for this collection lies in this upbringing, it does not focus on nostalgia but rather upon the ongoing effects and mental experiences that relate to spirituality. Thus, many poems stem from recent inspiration. As a whole, I reflect upon the thoughts, observations, and feelings as a seeker continually attuned to the poetic possibilities that spirituality has brought and will continue to bring.

“John Zedolik is blessed to detect the sacred in seemingly incongruous places, from the glint of a fishhook to the shape of a honeysuckle branch in winter. His poems reconfigure these moments of religious experience into a language of subtle music and syntactical daring. Reading him attunes the mind to a deeper spiritual awareness.”
