Wilderness refuge caretaker Sam Taylor presents Body Of The World, a moving poetry collection that emphasizes the inseparable connection between human beings and the physical world. A variety of free-verse patterns traverse themes from serendipitous to spiritual in this wistfully contemplative assortment. The Gospel of J: All the vain seekers of glory- / they see His Body hanging there / and miss the other half of the sacrifice. // I gave away my own heart / and for what? A few coins? Mere pretense. / I received Nothing. // but the part no one wanted / in the Perfect Story.
