Synopsis

Winner of the 2010 FutureCycle Poetry Book Prize. STEALING HYMNALS FROM THE CHOIR is a collection of poems about the outward pull of the forces of history, the inward tugging of the human heart, and the intersection of the two. Its subjects are some of the impersonal events that have swept us into the present day, and the precarious intimacies that try to steady us and give us strength to endure within that present. It is a book about mourning, meditation, and finally the inevitability of celebration.
