J Patrick

Psalms of Light J Patrick

At the center of this poetry collection is the oldest of all rivalries-that between the light and the dark, both literal and metaphorical. But poet J Patrick is not a bystander in this timeless struggle. These poems have chosen a side and they are blazing ambassadors of the light with praise songs for the sun, odes to moonglow, and aubades for divine brightness creeping over the horizon. These poems find philosophy in their wordplay and music in their metaphysical pilgrimage. They are "an angle of brightness . . . not straight but woven," finding echoes of Heaven in this earthly illumination. The poet transforms starshine into a luminosity of spirit. Psalms of Light is a volume that inspires the reader to peel back the surface of darkness and hopelessness, to see the life, love, and light underneath.
