Slake Margaret J Rothrock

If you wish to live, you have to die.
A paradox, it's true; but tell me now how caterpillars
weave dark coffins for themselves
and climb inside
before they learn to fly? So proposes Slake, a series of poems on the meaning of pain and the possibility of redemption. It is a journey of questions: one that faces frustration, heartache and the ever-present thirst for something better before concluding that there really is only one Way, Truth and Life-although that is a wonderful one. Join Scholastic Award-winning author Margaret J. Rothrock as she wrestles through the paradoxes of brokenness and salvation, darkness and faith, in this trek from wilderness to promised land to exile to eternity. Because of the visual nature of this poetry, it is recommended that readers purchase the print version of the book. The eBook version may contain formatting errors which could obscure the intentions of the author.
