New Sonnet up at The Amethyst Review

Another one of my theological sonnets—
[Say prayer’s correctly rubbing God’s back]—has been published by The Amethyst Review.

This one explores the human desire to get a signal out—to be heard and responded to by the numinous. Somehow appropriate for our current reality of social distancing.

Oddly enough, the inspiration for this poem came from a conversation with a student (as many do): something relatively psychotic about a rabbit’s foot. This is what it turned into. I think she would be pleased.

and

[Say prayer’s correctly rubbing God’s back]

will be joining my other poems in The Amethyst Review: the former in April, the latter in May.
