winter breviary: a poem of some reverence

By K.M. Yarian

"winter breviary" is a reflection on our post-modern spiritual anxiety. the piece explores the themes of our relationship to the divine, the emotions we confront when faced with moral and ethical choices, and the power of love and the reality of our capacity for violence. it is at once a poem and a prayer patterned after the form of western monastic prayer called the divine office. the hours of prayer form a movement from spiritual darkness; through the awakening and subsequent struggles and occasional rebellion of faith; to the surrender and peace of the fulfilled spiritual life in death. "winter breviary" travels the road of the experiences of our human longing for meaning in prose and the musical rhythms of prayer. k. m. yarian is a transgender author, activist, and poet in San Francisco. Their current collection "tribe: fire-songs" is also available on Amazon.
