This mesmerizing collection will challenge your perceptions and leave you yearning for more.
McLuhan's Canary
If we are to live in this world and share in its experience, we must have patience.

In these poems, paeans to the virtue of patience, Meyer listens as the world sings to us and awakens us to the perpetuity and strength in which we live and love.

Each poem demonstrates a sense of wonder and inspiration that celebrates the discovery that resides in every moment we are alive. From love poetry to poetry that wrestles with tough questions, Meyer has captured those instants in life that often go unrecorded, but that comprise the complexity of our existence."--
Anywhere
"In the end, the only theology that matters is the personal one. Heaven is not merely a vision or an aspiration, neither is it just an incomplete metaphor. Heaven is the highest form of irony; what goes unsaid in everything that is loved. Whether it is a beach from a long-lost summer, a snowy field on a winter morning, a child’s blue eyes or the love between two people, one thing is certain: heaven is whatever one makes of it, and it can be anywhere"--Back cover.
