Sheer Bandages: A Fragile Offering

Sheer Bandages: A Fragile Offeringcontains the literary genres of free verse poetry, haiku, anthropomorphic ballads, and wisdom sayings. The collection is replete with recurring images (e.g., the poet as moth, shadows, the Potters wheel of God, death, the tree, the Lords nonverbal messages through nature, and His verbal messages through the Scriptures).Many of the works are presented in a moving or twirling motion. The sheer bandage image itself (around and around) wraps its way throughout the entire book, giving an ethereal sense of orbits and lifes seasons.And as the bandage unwraps, out flow the fragile offeringsthe poems and wisdom.Every work was wrought through the thorn of brokenness, yet the poems are not dark. Rather, they flash illumination as if a fresh candle were just lit.Sheer Bandages: A Fragile Offeringis minimalist, free of anything esoteric.
