Portraits of My Married Friends: Or a Peep Into Hymen’s Kingdom (1858)

Transformation is hard. Growing is painful. Change is scary. The embodiment of this book is experiential: these poems are poetic snapshots taken from inside various transitions. In most poems, you will find a glimpse of God’s face, hand, or heart. Several may challenge or parallel your perspective. In a few you will discover humor and many will explore loss. Does one ever really become the person he wants to be? Between a Rock and The High Place: Poetry Inside Transition is about accepting the insecurities or confusions of your soul and embracing hope and faith of the spirit. As you thoughtfully consider any temporarily disrupted parts of your life, let these poems serve as inspirational reminders that you are not alone!
