Occasional Hymns

In this stunning new poetry collection, Occasional Hymns, Oklahoma poet Paul Bowers draws upon the landscape and people of the Midwest, in the tradition of Ted Kooser, and offers keen observations of rural life reminiscent of the poetry of Jane Kenyon and Mary Oliver. Inspired by the musical traditions of the Baptist Church, Bowers creates crafted poems that resonate like favorite hymns sung with deep conviction and spiritual insight.
