As a spiritual director, theologian, teacher and chaplain, Christopher Southgates poetry resonates deeply with human experience and has received wide recognition. Here he collects together new and some of his most popular poems that touch on spiritual themes.

"Resonant as lark song beside a still pool, these poems reveal the truth of being that is porous to the HolyPeople, places and situations come alive through Southgate’s masterful, sometimes playful and always reverent evocations. Faith and love, fierce and fragile, shimmer and sing." -- Carla A. Grosch-Miller, author of Psalms Redux
"From closely observed and sensitive responses to sacred spaces, to informed and imaginative engagement with scripture, from poised meditation on art and music, to poignant reflection on suffering and endurance, Christopher Southgate's poetry takes us deep into our shared experiences of struggle and joy, patience and prayer, and leaves us all the richer for it." -- Malcolm Guite
