How Much the Body

Arts & Literature

“Grounded in the things of this world, McDonald invites us into miracles. The poems in How Much the Body are personal and universal, earthy and spiritual. This poet means business when it comes to a God who promised to show up at the intersection of things unseen and everyday life: the transcendent God made startlingly or quietly immanent in babies, bills, doorknobs, healing waters, and road sign warnings. Read these poems as prayer, praise, confession, or invitation; just do yourself a favor and read these poems.”
