Not All Saints

Sean Thomas Dougherty

4.6/5 ( ratings)

Poetry. Sean Thomas Dougherty's NOT ALL SAINTS leads us through grit-strewn passageways to a realm of insight. These strong and beautiful poems are unafraid to open their interiors to explore secret depths of emotion and reach into the darkest recesses of grief, love or the musings of a stillborn child. The reader will visit the 'Ghost Roads' to see the lynched, the Indian graves, chicken bones and spent bullet casings and will delve into the unexplored and sometimes breathtaking terrain of 'invisible scars' where the poet searches for more than 'all this suffering, the long stroll to become nothing.' This collection seeks to find salvation and to balance the divine with the damaged until 'a wafer of moon dissolves into the mouth of the dark.'--Patty Dickson Pieczka
