Drawn to the Light
This book is about my gradual emergence from hiding my “light”—my gifts and talents—and about discovering as I let it shine that the light in me was a gift of divine life and light that illuminates my path and can illuminate others’ paths, too, and can encourage them to let their light shine. I became more alive and creative, and I continue to understand more fully the statement in the Gospel of John that “the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not overcome it” (1:5). I hope that this book reminds readers of those persons and experiences in their own lives that drew them toward the light both outside and inside themselves and that helps them be more alive.
Beyond Me
Beyond Me seeks to capture and convey the wonder, mystery, and healing power of the Divine Spirit and its activity in human beings, life, and relationships. This Divine Presence is often felt or glimpsed as Mystery--beyond us, yet within us--which grabs our attention and pulls us into a deeper and fuller exploration of what life and human existence is all about. As an ordained Presbyterian minister serving as a Pastoral Psychotherapist, Carroll E. Arkema is especially thrilled and fascinated to notice and then capture in his poems the congruency between psychodynamics, spiritual growth, and scriptural stories. His interdisciplinary perspective illuminates the complexity of the divine/human relationship, tracing how people change, heal, and are sanctified, while also resisting such change and growth. Personal experiences and scriptural accounts throw light on each other, and Arkema shows poetry to be a format capable of holding and integrating both.
Poems of Mourning and Healing Memory
Poems of Mourning and Healing Memory is a book that tells of the author's coming to terms with the death of his parents. The book begins with the author's father--and the author himself--dealing with the death of wife and mother. It continues with the author's powerful encounter with his dying father, then proceeds with poems mourning his father's death and its aftermath. The second half of the book contains poems which remember and honor significant people and experiences in the author's life. As a pastoral psychotherapist, the author finds the Bible and spirituality to be major healing resources, along with memories of some key people he writes about who have helped him grow and heal in his life. What happens in writing is a mysterious and awesome thing, and the very process of remembering and writing these poems has helped the author mourn and find some healing. Perhaps these poems will trigger your own memories; resonate with various layers of your experiences; help you move through your own grief; and perhaps encourage you to do some writing of your own!

Poetry Zooms In
"A poem can capture a moment, / Zoom in on an instant in time / Otherwise lost in the ongoing rush / Of a life not experienced in rhyme." These poems can fortify your soul, help you see deeply into persons and the world, and be mindful of Sacred Presence in the supposedly mundane world. The poems zoom in to see evidence of the Sacred in nature; in the human healing journey from brokenness to wholeness. They lament the tragic results of humans setting themselves up as sacred or ultimate, and they contemplate the mystery of death as part of the soul's journey of transformation. Savor them, see something of what I see or even more, and be fascinated by the presence of the Sacred even in something like the way a house wren builds its nest. I focus in some poems on what the night reveals, but most of my poems are suffused with deep delight, contemplative wonder, and transformative joy--each in their own now autonomous way. They're free of me. Now over to you!

Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences
Traditionally, the natural sciences have been divided into two branches: the biological sciences and the physical sciences. Today, an increasing number of scientists are addressing problems lying at the intersection of the two. These problems are most often biological in nature, but examining them through the lens of the physical sciences can yield exciting results and opportunities. For example, one area producing effective cross-discipline research opportunities centers on the dynamics of systems. Equilibrium, multistability, and stochastic behavior-concepts familiar to physicists and chemists-are now being used to tackle issues associated with living systems such as adaptation, feedback, ...
