Seed Voices (Paperback or Softback)

"Sheldon Clark's poems are vivid, telling, and evocative. He invites us to join him on significant occasions where he gives voice. In our listening, we are carried by the meaning he suggests in that particular moment, always in the direction of personal growth and learning." --Rev. Dr. F. Gardiner Perry, D. Min.

"These poetic narratives are raw, authentic, and impactful." --Melissa Grimaldi and Sofia Grimaldi

"The poems in Seed Voices ... are the distillation of a lifetime of thought and reflection." --Chuck Roth

"Each poem paints a picture of a particular experience, within which one finds themes that are universal." --Christine Hitchcock

The poems and meditations in Seed Voices were written by the author in gratitude for encounters he had from the 1950s to the present, in what he calls "the complex-simplicity of being friend, parent, teacher, pastor, and perpetual student." Clark goes on: "Seed Voices are present as life begins and ends. The Sower in the parable sows seeds by the wayside, in marginal land, and in fertile soil.... One job everyone can do is sow seeds for justice and love. Seeds of injustice, cruelty, and hatred die on barren ground."
