Begin with Love

Poems from my MFA. All work is protected under copyright by EWU.

These poems come from the idea that, if we are made in His image, He, too, feels the way we feel. God feels anxiety, knows what regret can do to the heart, understands self-hatred, intimacy, and desire. These poems also use the technique of Revisionist Theology as they imagine Biblical characters here in the PNW.

Credit to Jericho Brown for the “Duplex” form used in the final poem.
