"This is a book of joy, an Easter of jubilation. Holiness infuses these poems: holy flights of imagination, holy laughter, holy living in the everyday, and holy resurrection hope. Even the punishing season of winter is 'a glass of chilled champagne.' And angels everywhere-materializing to sing a Bach mass in the middle of the night on an empty street, or maybe dropping in for a summer swim. The energy, the down-to-earth reverence-is all of a piece, creating an abundance of blessings for any reader fortunate enough to step inside the world David Craig writes and lives."-JILL PELÁEZ…mehr

"This is a book of joy, an Easter of jubilation. Holiness infuses these poems: holy flights of imagination, holy laughter, holy living in the everyday, and holy resurrection hope.

The energy, the down-to-earth reverence-is all of a piece, creating an abundance of blessings for any reader fortunate enough to step inside the world David Craig writes and lives."-JILL PELÁEZ BAUMGAERTNER, Poetry Editor, Christian Century "With his immediately recognizable voice-wry but reverent-and uncommonly deft prosodic skill, David Craig's new poems serve to resurrect the beauty of formal structures bearing uncontainable and exultant spirit into view."-SCOTT CAIRNS, author of Slow Pilgrim and Anaphora "David Craig's infectious new collection Easter celebrates the being and becoming of the 'unlikely people' with whom 'God hangs out' (oh, may we be among them!). It is impossible not to revel in its joyful faith. The collection brims with verses that merit meditation ('Jesus waits to realize Himself in the flesh of this world./It was what He was born for') as well as countless expressions of sheer happiness derived from a life that is 'changing imperceptibly toward the good.' Craig's gift is to gather the fruit and the fracas of our dailiness and raise them in oblation, without attempting to conceal our rough edges, which are God's to smooth. Easter is poetry to carry with us, from laughter to prayer, from trial to praise."-SOFIA M. STARNES, Virginia Poet Laureate, Emerita
Autorenporträt
Aside from three months living on an oil tanker sailing back and forth between America and Africa, and two years living in a pub, David Craig grew up on the west coast of Scotland. He studied Software Engineering at university, but lost interest in the subject after (and admittedly prior to) graduation. He currently works as a resourcing administrator for a public service contact centre, and lives near Glasgow with his wife, daughter and two rabbits.Being a published writer had been a life-long dream, and one that he was delighted to finally realise with his debut novel, Resurrection Men, the first in the Sooty Feathers series, published by Elsewhen Press in 2018. Thorns of a Black Rose was David's second novel, also published by Elsewhen Press. He returns to the Sooty Feathers series with Lord of the Hunt.
