The Long Arc of Hope

By James Clarke

This collection of poems focuses on the moments of grace that are always present if we but look for them. It is in part a reflection on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic--a time that reminds us that we are often, in his words, like "a feather without a wing," loose, drifting, and in part the result of lessons gleaned from his own life--growing up in tough times, feeling all too keenly the ache of absence. Honest, thought-provoking, and sensitive, this collection reflects Clarke's belief in the need to embrace life with faith, hope, and an ever-gentle spirit of love: that's where the child in us is constantly reborn in joy and gratitude.
