Poetry & Made Things
Start Here.
NOTE: 6.4.25 Although I am not writing weekly to Subscribers (hi friends!) I'm still very active on Substack Notes and interact there on a daily basis -- all of the connection and engagement of old school blogging days. Yay! Plus I get to encourage other poets who are at the beginning of their journeys--I love it. Maybe I’ll see you there? To find more of my work, a link to my books and publications elsewhere, you can also visit my author website.
About Poetry & Made Things
The word ‘poem’ comes from the Greek 'poiema' for 'a made thing,' so here you’ll not only find poems and poetic inspiration, but also other made things, like reflections and essays about the intersection of my Christian faith and daily life.
But there’s mostly poetry. I am a Christian writer but “Christian poetry” doesn’t have to mention the name of Jesus… Sometimes a poem simply illuminates God’s character and creation or glorifies Him in some way by its uniqueness and words that resonate with the reader.
