Overview

Poet Edward A. Dougherty begins a spiritual journey in House, World, Heaven and shows us the landscape of contemporary small-town America. In the darkness of a winter morning, he delivers ""the day's cold news"" - the grind of poverty, the wreckage of human relationships, the loneliness of hidden suffering. ""So much anger. Resentment,"" he writes, citing Saint Augustine, ""is a metal poker fired red-hot in the heart, / To scorch another you must first wound yourself."" Yet the same poem offers a radically different dawning: ""in her beautiful hands / my love took oranges, sliced them / to reveal their sectioned dawns."" The poem asks us, ""What is it you need to begin healing?"" -Bart White, author, The Art of Restoration and Your Session is About to Time Out
