Evensong for Shadows: Poems

In Evensong for Shadows deferred hope becomes fulfilled hope. Like the Psalmist the poets expressions of praise alternate with those of suffering. This book sways with a musicality of theme form and language while refrains about miscarriage and motherhood resound throughout. Here readers find hymns of witness to wonders and griefs--songs of the infinite and the infinitesimal. Rooted in Pennsylvania and immersed in the Christian and liberal arts traditions Wheeler presents a collection with depth breadth and a music that endures.
