Synopsis

Burnt Offerings is filled with poems about life and death, family and faith, hope and despair, creativity and questions. From Billy Collins and Smokey the Bear to Jesus, from kombucha to the Eucharist, from kindling and forest fires to ash and ember, Cathy Warner employs metaphor, humility, and humor to explore the spiritual life.

About this title

From the Author:

Written over a span of fifteen years, these poems begin and end in community, gatherings and groups where I was blessed and loved, supported and given every opportunity to deepen my faith and skills in expressing that faith through poetry, prayers, and preaching, and the writing workshops I lead for others to discover their own creativity through spiritual writing.

 
Although my poetry rises out of my experience with the Christian tradition, and many of the poems address faith and the Christian story directly, an equal number consider universal themes of life.
 
My life is overflowing with gifts. I pray that some of them will spill out in the world through Burnt Offerings.

From the Back Cover:

What makes Cathy Warner's poetry so special is the way she dramatizes her faith through deeply engaged metaphors. Animated, fresh, profound, these poems make real the challenges of trying to live as a Christian.  --Peggy Rosenthal, author of The Poets' Jesus and Praying through Poetry: Hope for Violent Times
