A Paper Sky

About this book

Between the covers of this work, you will find no mere arranged words or an exercise in rhetoric, but a "pulse" whose owner tried to survive the weight of the days, pouring it as ink so as not to drown. "A Paper Sky" is a poetry collection weaving strength from breaking, and from pain a window overlooking the light; it is an invitation to all who walk among people lightly while mountains of stifled pain are in their chests, and those who lean on God in secret and march like an army unseen and unbroken. The collection's language progresses between the mystery of the melancholy dwelling the hours of stillness, and the inspiration of certainty that dawns in the heart when distances narrow. It is a book for those who once said "we are finished" then rose, because God did not leave them for the blink of an eye. The poems here neither appease nor flatter; they place a hand gently on the reader's wound, as if a survival plan were written especially in your name without your knowing. "A Paper Sky" is not for passing reading, but a journey to reclaim the self; for the sky is not always above us, sometimes it descends to us as a "paper" if touched by the honesty of.
