A collection of 31 poems by a young man who has supplanted the dogmas of his fundamentalist Christian parents with a somber but good-humored faith in the consolation to be found in poetry. The ordering of the poems traces a coming-of-age arc, from a farewell to family and childhood, through a search for love and meaning, to finding himself at peace, content to share quiet reflections shaped by empathy, wit, and sensuous appreciation.
