Overview

In Deliverance, D. Brandt turns the poetic journey begun in Redemptions inward, tracing the soul's hidden struggles where weakness becomes the doorway to grace. These five cycles move from sin's crushing weight into the looping ache of daily failure, through time's slow erosion, down to the stripped self, and finally to despair met by seventy-times-seven mercy. Through crafted forms, refrains, and the discipline of meter, the poems enact what they name: repetition, weakness, endurance, and the surprising return of hope. Where strength collapses, grace arrives; where the heart falters, Providence steadies. Brandt writes for days when endurance runs thin and faith feels frayed, offering not explanation but companionship. These poems invite readers to honesty--to see deliverance not as a single moment but as a returning, again and again, to the God who remakes what we cannot.

Author Information

D. Brandt turned a Kansas basement chemistry set into lifelong curiosity, publishing early poems in his high school's Non Pareil (1973). A PhD in biochemistry from Kansas State led to decades in science. Poetry claimed him later; Redemptions is his first collection. He lives in Lafayette, Indiana, with wife Cheryl; their four children, spouses, and four grandchildren are scattered from nearby to afar. He runs barefoot and refuses easy answers.
