Let''s Call It Home is a slow search for wholeness in the fragmented landscape of language, place, family, and faith. These poems offer themselves as touchstones on the dizzying pilgrimage of ascent and descent towards rooted ground, that place we both hail from and are forever approaching, the home we both know intimately and perennially hunger for. And here, on this road, if the conclusions are provisional and the destination--as seen from this end of things--shifting, the hope compelling us out the door is as certain as the ache that sings us homeward and the unshakable sense of a steadying hand at our backs.
