Ashes to Eucalyptus

by Vincent H. Chough

Written during the early years of the author’s spiritual conversion, this collection lays bare the themes of faith, doubt, creation, temptation and sin. In these 89 reflections the urgency of man’s search for God comes forth in every line accompanied by moments of tranquility and peace.

In ASHES TO EUCALYPTUS the verse flows freely and goes beyond traditional structures to vividly communicate the profound struggles and victories of a life changed by grace.

Vincent H Chough (the author of BRAVE FISH) says,

“These lines of poetry came out of the deep recesses of my heart. I explored some of the most hidden corners of my soul and climbed the peaks of my faith.”

About the author

I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina with my wife and five sons. To know me better I share this...

At this moment I do not waver, and I exercise tremendous courage, not from myself but from a higher source within me. If I were to execute this explanation on my own terms, a beautiful soliloquy of betrayal would have been woven into a tapestry already thick with lies. This night, however, I claim victory over my pettiness, over my need to save face, and over the fear of exposing my true self. I finally begin to walk in the sweet pastures of truth and light.
