Tetrachromacy: Poems

By Lee McDerment

What if you were made to see more than the eye allows?

In the natural world, tetrachromacy is a rare condition-possessed by a few whose eyes contain four color receptors instead of three, allowing them to perceive hues others cannot name. In this luminous collection of poetic-prose meditations and structured poems, Tetrachromacy becomes a metaphor for spiritual vision: the ability to perceive what is holy, hidden, and eternal in the seemingly ordinary contours of life.

Written by pastor, poet, and musician Lee McDerment, this book invites readers into a world charged with the presence of God-a world where light has layers, silence has texture, and beauty is a form of worship. Drawing from Scripture, nature, parenthood, memory, mystery, and prayer, McDerment crafts lines that shimmer with both vulnerability and reverence.

Each page is an invitation to look again.

To see the divine in dewlight.
To find eternity tucked inside a glance.
To behold the voice of God echoing in shadows and colors unnamed.
