Synopsis

This book of poetry explores the inner lives of women and men who lived in the American colonies when the Blue Laws held sway. These laws, meant to regulate every aspect of life according to a strict Puritan code, are a testament to the complex intertwining of religious fervor and political power in early America. The book examines how the Blue Laws impacted the lives of ordinary people, exploring the themes of faith, love, community, rebellion, and the human spirit's capacity for both great beauty and grievous harm. Through vivid storytelling and evocative language, the author shows how the Blue Laws left an indelible mark on the American character and continue to resonate in contemporary debates over the relationship between religion and government.
