Beyond the Gate: Poetry and Photography

By Doug Jordan and Sidney Shapira

When the world amazes and words fail the rest of us, true poets step up to capture such moments forever, and then hold them up for the consideration, edification, and enjoyment of others ... like precious gems best viewed from multiple angles. The poems (and photography) in this collection do just that, with the poignant and thought-provoking work of Doug Jordan and Sidney Shapira inviting readers to stop awhile and ponder what truly might lie Beyond the Gate.

Supported once again by the artful photography of Sidney Shapira, this collection is a follow-up to The Gate and Other Poems on a Life's Journey (FriesenPress 2021), a poetry collection that truly captured the hearts and minds of its readers. Examining similar themes as its predecessor, with provocative, inspiring, and occasionally amusing poetry, Sidney has added his own poetic voice to the collection this time, elevating and expanding its appeal and ensuring that this next journey to the gate and beyond is well worth taking.
