Poetry with a Steady and Measured Approach

With a steady, measured, and calmly forceful approach and tone, the poems of Patience, Therefore confront the worst in self and society--including hypocrisy, conflict, ill will, and avarice and poverty. Conversely, the book celebrates the positive in and among us.

Spiritual and Inclusive Emphasis

Its spiritual emphasis is not impositional but exploratory, inviting, and thought-provoking--mindful of and inclusive of the secular as well as the faith-based audience.

Universal Feelings and Hope

We all feel downtrodden and powerless and long for truth, stability, and justice. Poetry can play a role in our physical and emotional health. Ultimately, we can take solace in the goodness and loving kindness that still exist and that a just God has promised will prevail.
