It reveals the hopes, the aspirations, and the challenges with the use of peoples personal voices. Poetry from the Pews shares a compilation of poems and prayers about the past, the present, and the future of a people. Poetry from the Pews is an anthology of poetic voices about the victories and challenges of life as it is lived, which reveals the dignity and abundant strength of a church people.

Day Mattar's Springing from the Pews is an explosive pamphlet which explores an episode of sexual violence through a verse play interwoven with confessions and journal entries. Mattar's poetry is eloquent, with a dark intensity underlying the sugary surface, with echoes of Frank O'Hara and Sharon Olds. A breathtaking read, Mattar's splenetic energy gushes out like water from a fire hydrant.

This is a book of insightful, often humorous, and always grace-filled poems for each Sunday of the church year and occasional other days. Based on one or more texts for Year A of the Revised Common Lectionary—Original Testament, Gospel, Letters, and Psalms—each poem reveals surprises about God much like the proclamations made by the biblical writers. For preachers, the poems here will be a joyful springboard to the sermon, each one a mini-sermon in itself; and for people in the pews, a brand-new way of thinking about the Bible. The index of 124 biblical references will make the book usable at any time. With titles like “The Once and Future Comeuppance of the Butters,” “What’s Really Original Here,” “Three Drinking Limericks,” and “They Thought It Was the Feds,” these poems will help the reader discover the God known and shown by Jesus and the earliest faith communities as amazing, abundant, boundary-pushing, and bold.

Learning about the ancient Jewish tradition of midrash, a rabbinic form of textual interpretation that seeks and imagines answers to unanswerable questions, felt to Amy Bornman like a poetic invitation to re-engage with the Bible in a new way. There is a Future: A Year of Daily Midrash – an award-winner in the Paraclete Poetry Prize competition – grew from a yearlong project to read the Bible daily, and write daily midrashic poems in response to the readings—to honor the text by wondering about, and struggling with, it. By engaging particular passages of scripture across the Old and New Testaments directly, these poems imagine new dimensions of the text, and make vivid connections to the world as it is now and to the author’s own life—emerging at year’s end with new hope in a future that at times feels impossible, as the days pile on days and the text’s enduring questions continue to ring.

Okay, so here you are reading the back of the book. I don't know what you are doing back there, probably looking for more information about the book than you could find at the front of the book, so I'll try to help you out. This is a book containing forty-six conservative Christian Poems. If you are a Christian then many of the poems are about you, well, not just you, they are about me also, and a lot of our Christians friends. A number of the poems ask questions, such as "Why should I Worship Your God?" Think about how you would answer that? Another ask, "How's your Christian Walk?" Well, how is it? After you have answered that question take a look at "My Christian Walk." Hopefully, it will make you feel better about your own! Both poems might give you something to think about. The poems "The Altar" and "The Altar Call," might give you pause also. None of the poems preach, well maybe one or two, most of them deal with the everyday life of the average Christian. The why me guy, and the how come guy, and the guy that gets up in the morning and starts his day with "Thank You Jesus for Your blessings!" I pray that is you!
