Michael Price

Opis

For over half a decade, Michael Price has written poetry as a way to orient his heart as he travels down the Christ-paved path of eternal life. In his debut volume of poetry, you are invited to peer down the road this pilgrim has traveled as you continue on your own pilgrimage.
"The poems in BRUSHSTROKES, Price's first collection, are clear and direct, imbued with the light of a sincere faith. Through them, we view a heart that hungers for God and seeks to invoke His presence through the luminous gift of language. Price invites us, as readers, into the quiet 'moments' of these poems-moments mostly of praise and contemplation of both the grandest of truths and the smallest of beauties. Price does not, however, attempt to 'paint over' the darkness. There is a groaning here, of the self in correspondence both with others and with nature, as well as on their behalf. Price's sonnet, 'To My Wife, ' reflects this beautifully-though never hopelessly. These poems are, overwhelmingly, poems of hope. They shine with it, and with an honest love for the One from whom all hope springs." -- Cindy Beebe, poet and freelance editor
"BRUSHSTROKES is a treasure in written form. A delight to read, Price's work lets beauty jump from the page in a way that's both winsome and accessible to us everyday people." -- Chioma Usoh, Physical Therapist
