A Farewell to Lent

A Farewell to Lent
A Farewell to Lent is a collection of poems, mostly theological or otherwise “religious” in some sense, that follows a progress of spiritual searching, growth, failure, frustration, triumph, praise, and celebration. The poems move toward and follow from Easter, the definitive Christian season and holy day. Taken together, they do not make a steady or self-confident march, but rather a lurching and staggering, within a realization of inner peace and joy.​ A Farewell to Lent is a collection of poems, mostly theological or otherwise “religious” in some sense, that follows a progress of spiritual searching, growth, failure, frustration, triumph, praise, and celebration.

​Hadduck is at his best in this new collection, struggling with angels through the long night, refusing to let go until his questions are answered and his blessing received. Reading these pages, we are invited to share in both the fight and the reward."
​- Daniel Schwindt
