Groove In The Earth: Poems From Under The Breath

By Daniel Benedict

Groove in the Earth is Daniel Benedict's invitation to contemplate the human and more-than-human world from below. It is a collection of moments in a time when "God above" seems incongruent with the universe we know. Whatever is on his résumé, Daniel claims nothing more than to be a human being on the most amazing planet in the solar system. These poems are points in time: yearnings born of surprise, or of anguish, or a quest to probe more deeply some life-gift, even when the occasion was tinged with pain or loss or paradox. Here, Daniel sometimes plays in your presence. Sometimes he takes you into a moment where he had no clear destination in mind, and in the end didn't arrive beyond the question mark. About The Author Daniel Benedict lives on the edge of a beloved woodland in suburban Virginia. He is a husband, father and grandfather, a retired United Methodist presbyter (elder), and a brother in the Order of Saint Luke. He teaches online courses in worship and liturgy and writes from his Lake Ridge home.
