Desert Plains

The desert is a harsh place, where the land is parched, the dangers are real, and travelers lose their bearings and are pushed to their limits. For some, it stands for the course of ordinary life; for others, it mirrors the walk of following Christ. Hopes collapse along the way, fear creeps in, and disaster seems to be closing around everyone.

The poems also turn the word on its head. Read "planes" where you expect "plains" and the book explores the flat expanses of the human heart, left open to whatever weather arrives, along with the levels of awareness and perception that shape how we see. A change in that seeing opens new viewpoints, and through them a glimpse of the hope, purpose, and beauty found within the wasteland.

Desert Plains pairs poems with photographs, so the verse and the images work together. The photographs are printed in ultra premium color.
