The Left Hand of God
Ebook
It's a mistake to insist on an upper middle-class gospel. Orthodox Catholic universities can fall into this trap, as any privileged person can. What matters is spiritual poverty. This is what we are called to, to take the lowest part--always. After all, the only sins we can really know are our own. These poems are an attempt to foreground that problem, that solution. May they give Jesus glory, whatever their success.
Praise for The Left Hand of God:
“The cast of characters who animates this world may surprise some—St. Francis, la petite Therese, and the late ‘lowlife’ Angelino poet, Henry Charles Bukowski—but it shouldn’t. They, along with you and I, sit at the table of humanity, all of us flawed, beautiful, and perishable. In this collection, our days of joyousness and suffering co-exist in a palimpsest of time that is, at once, astronomical, ancient, medieval, and contemporary.”
—Maurice Kilwein Guevara, author of Poema
Praise for Easter, Poems:
“One of David Craig’s gifts from the beginning of his work is his ability to use the temporal and spiritual in a transformative manner, so that daily life accounts acquire purpose and direction and things we do almost without thinking are charged with meaning. The poems awaken in the reader a desire to reach in and out, to identify the milestones in his or her own spiritual journey. These are powerful poems which belong on the shelf with Merton, Hopkins, and Eliot.”
—Janet McCann, author of Life List: New and Selected Poems
