The Glass Jar
Ebook
This book tells why a mystical poet puts his poems in glass jars.
“Why is the eye not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing? Randolph’s The Glass Jar demonstrates an inimitable knack for seeing and weaving God’s wonders in the phenomena of the natural world through supple words that are informed with spiritual humility. Sculptured through with gratitude and challenge to love the Lord creatively, the book persuades us in our finitude to reach out. We may fail in breaking through barriers and boundaries as we navigate the vicissitudes of life, yet his love abounds.”
—A. Ezekiel Olagoke, professor of sociology, Waynesburg University
“Randolph leads us to ‘a silver road inside the dark’ with this inspired collection of mystical poems born of brooks, crows and jays, trees, barn wood, thinking chairs, and the fragility of our very bones. Channeling Thoreau and Oliver in his nature-filled conversations with God, the poet brings us to the light. We find ourselves reaching into the poet’s glass jar over and over again to see our reflection and find our spiritual home.”
—Jill Moyer Sunday, assistant professor of English, Waynesburg University
