Reviews
"""Jeremiah Webster's affecting new poems bespeak enduring faith and hard-won hope. And finely wrought as they are, they strike an elegiac note as well--appropriately enough in our strange and difficult times."" --Charles Hughes, author of The Evening Sky ""With the voice both wild and widely read, these poems ask questions that echo through ages but ring with unsettling intensity for those of us living in this particular moment. Perhaps if we listen, we too can 'take wing / in the four chambered / cathedral hidden / in the avian heart, ' created by and cradled in the hands of God. May it be so."" --Lenae Nofziger, author of Signs Following ""These poems simultaneously traverse polemic and lament. But more than anything, they offer a fresh dose of gospel hope to souls weary of the evangelical obsession with power at any cost."" --Joe Day, singer and songwriter ""Jeremiah Webster's poetry is both historically robust and a poetry of the people, of the low and ashamed, the gentle, the ugly and beautiful, the shadow-bound, the good. Webster doesn't shy away from personal darkness or the darkness of the nation state but rather composes a cadence of mystery that is irrevocable. The world is fraught with fear and rage. We need books like Notes for a Postlude to heal our hearts. Take this book in your hands and cherish the day!"" --Shann Ray, author of Atomic Theory 7"
