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.
