Almost Entirely: Poems (Paraclete Poetry) - Inspirational Christian Poetry for Meditation, Worship & Spiritual Growth

Jennifer Wallace's complex poems confront tough stuff: the prison vs. palace of selfhood, the cold fact of emptiness, inescapable loss, and true love. At a time when our shattered world seems to have lost the ability to perceive nuance, Wallace writes about the being--the holding--of two things at once so beautifully and accessibly she delivers a philosophical bargain. You read a short piece and you're deeper all day, all life long. Read this one:"This Evening"The evening there is nowhere to rest but inthe wind. A blue wind comes up throughthe floorboards. An orange wind in the gap wherethe windows won't meet the sills. These twowinds are complementary and therefore better thanthe sofa where I can't sit because one side is empty,outweighing my wish for someone there.
