There isn't anything affected in either Garrett Soucy's singing voice or his literary style. Both are spare as a cabin in the Maine woods, a cast iron stove in the corner for heat, but also for hardness. Sometimes when walking, one comes upon the remnants of such a place, a chimney that has out-lasted its house. That's these poems: compelling, comfortable, and classic as brick.

Mischa Willett, author of Phases and The Elegy Beta

Garrett Soucy's densely allusive, rugged poems surprise with twists on biblical themes, vivid moments of prayer and praise, sharp and shocking images. A memorable collection that penetrates the soul.

Peter Leithart, president of Theopolis Institute

In an age that has lost any compelling sense of the reality of grace or the immanence of hope, poetry like Garrett Soucy's can give us eyes to see that, in spite of everything, we do live in a meaningful world. Running the gamut from honest lament to tender joy, these poems illuminate an elusive but visible path from shared brokenness to common grace.

Heidi White, author of The Divided Soul
