Inhaltsangabe

Rod Jellema has been writing and publishing poems for over thirty years. His work during that time has been described as “bursting with raw poetic talent.”

In this beautifully shaped compilation, readers will find the best poems from Jellema’s four previous collections along with a new grouping of poems appropriately titled “Still…”. Though ranging widely in subject, these poems are all united by Jellema’s point of view and his ability to explore, with both pathos and comedy, “the stabs of joy that leap from deep inside a fallen world of redeemed, incarnate things.”
