The Inexhaustible Always in the Exhausted Speaks: A Sensorium of Brokenness and Delight

By Douglas B Olds

The Inexhaustible Always in the Exhausted Speaks is a collection of christological poetics vectored through interrogations of a post-secular age scorched by technocratic acceleration, severing politics, and metaphysical fatigue. Douglas Olds offers a gathering of spiritual verse and shock--a sacramental insurgency of language rooted in the Logos and driven by kinesthetic intentionality. Here, poiesis is no aesthetic ornament--it is liturgical rupture toward humanistic essence: Pentecostal breath meeting ecological lament, covenantal fidelity rising through dissonance from false ideas regarding nature. Olds confronts categorical abstraction and linear rationality, resisting epistemic closure and systematic containment. With barometric acuity, he challenges the technocratic unmaking of sacred time. Through syntax both serrated and serene, Olds offers not merely theological verse, but a poetics of anthropological repair and its attendant pain and surprise--reorienting the reader toward immanence, the incompleteness of eternity, and healing. A field guide--an aperture--through cultural and environmental collapse, this work resituates holiness as lived relationality within a fragmented world never forsaken by creation. Reading this anthology is not merely reflection but recollected covenant--auscultating the heart's beat of waxing grace, embracing immanence where healing and eternity are shaped. This is poetry that sings where the Spirit still dances.
