Thank you for bringing all of us to the well: specific inclusion of the Samaritan woman and implied inclusion of Hagar. We are drawn to those who come to draw.
I would like a copy of your book, and one for a poet friend.
Thank you, Jerry. Your pastoral comments and biblical theology have blessed me many times in this endeavor. A copy of this book is yours, for free, if I manage to get it published. :)
This series of poems on the questions about Elijah and Elisha have been great companions to me during a long season of grief and its cohort. They evoke the rage-praying, the exhaustion, the helplessness, and the hope of my last few years and I’m so grateful that this art exists.
Thank you, Megan, yes! There are so many amazing questions in the Scriptures. Jesus' questions are actually what first got me circling question marks in the Bible, but now, phew, I'm overtaken by just about everybody's questions from God in the garden "Where are you?" all the way through to the angel asking John in Revelation, "Why are you astonished?"
Thank you, Megan. I love this phrase "to go deeper...via imagination and questions" - yes, that is my heart offered up in these poems. I'm so thankful they welcome you into that place.

Oh, Anna, I love how you noticed the questions and used that to build poems!

Super cool, Anna. You definitely are onto something here. Godspeed and happy poeming!
These poems invite me to go deeper into Scripture via my imagination and my questions. Thank you Anna!!
