All the Hits So Far But Don't Expect Too Much: Poetry, Prose & Other Sundry Items [With 14-Track CD]

This collection brings together poems and short prose pieces, each followed by a note from the author. Some of the notes explain where a poem came from, while others go deeper into the ideas and subjects the poem raises. Every piece is also paired with an artwork made for it, so the reader moves between words and pictures. The material is written with readers who are searching for a spiritual path in mind, and it is also meant for those who have spent many years in faith and want to reflect further. Whether the reader is just beginning to look at questions of meaning or is well along that road, the poems are offered as something to return to and think over.
