This slim, elegant book by Beverly Foote has won the Best Christian Poetry Book award from Xulon Press. It deserves it. Ms. Foote’s honest, calm, and musical voice takes the reader to an authentic and luminous place.
In the title poem, a load of lowly wash hung on the clothesline lofts in the wind and lifts our sights to a higher purpose.
Everyday events become moments of grace.
“Mooring,” the final poem, begins:
“This morning my Lord
filled a whole tree
with birds,
lifted his baton,
and had the sing Beethoven’s Ninth.”
This book helps the reader to see the sacred in ordinary life.
