Deep cutting spiritual poems addressing the deepest human feelings.

The mystics who coined the phrase "the way of affirmation" understood the apocalyptic nature of the word yes, the way it can lead out of one life and into another. Moving among the languages of Christian conversion, Classical metamorphosis, seasonal transformation, and gender transition, Luke Hathaway tells the story of the love that rewired his being, asking each of us to experience the transfiguration that can follow upon saying yes—with all one’s heart, with all one’s soul, with all one’s mind, with all one’s strength ... and with all one’s body, too.

Poetry readers often interpret the works of poets such as Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Tupac Shakur. But in the absence of commentary from the authors, interpreters must guess at the meaning. The ones best suited to explain have always been the authors. And the author’s commentary is what makes A Not So Ordinary Book of Poetry: Your Life Has Purpose! unique. It includes encouraging and inspirational backstories of the authors’ poems.

The lyrics came from the Lord Jesus in the Holy Bible. I have had these poems since 2015. He would wake me up at different times during the night with lyrics. While I was cooking, hanging out with friends, I would stop in the middle of whatever I was doing and jot them down. The last poem I remember was February of 2018, and then in July that same year, I said to the Lord, "You haven't given me any poems lately," and He replied, "You haven't done anything with the ones that I have given you." That is when I mailed them in to Christian Faith Publishing in August 2018.

My poetry is at times raw, sensuous, and evocative, and guarantees a stirring of all senses. Some poems will melt your heart or arouse you; others will leave you with a myriad of acute emotions. Others will make you smile, even bring tears to your eyes. Some, I hope, will provide comfort in knowing you are not alone, even when life is not always kind. I see us all as clay on a potter's wheel. Life’s trials represent the reshaping of who we are, and that reshaping is never ending. My poetry reflects that truth as an expression of my experiences.

Words of Wellness: Poetry to Bless the Broken-Hearted Believer expresses "thinking of you" to those who need to know they are not alone during a time of brokenness.
