Of Wings and Dirt

Arts & Literature

Foreword

“There is something so special about the poetry of Kimberly Phinney and Of Wings and Dirt. Her poems are like quiet psalms of gratitude and prayer, redolent with all the ways we heal, grieve, and grow in a world that sometimes feels too angry and loud. Her poems are a crackling campfire in the long dark of night, whispering, ‘Come here, dear friend. Be safe now. Come here, rest, and listen for a while.’”

“The poems of Ryan Diaz guide readers on a pilgrimage through nostalgia and prayer, through childhood memories, through the lives of vanished saints, and through his own humble quest for grace in this decidedly ungracious age in which we live. I, for one, follow his words with assurance.”
