Slake: A Journey in Poetry
If you wish to live, you have to die.
A paradox, it’s true; but tell me now how caterpillars
weave dark coffins for themselves
and climb inside
before they learn to fly?
So proposes Slake , a series of poems on the meaning of pain and the possibility of redemption. It is a journey of questions, one that faces frustration, heartache and the ever-present thirst for something better before it concludes that there really is only one Way, Truth and Life—and that is a wonderful one. Join Scholastic Award-winning author Margaret J. Rothrock as she wrestles through the paradoxes of brokenness and salvation, darkness and faith, in this trek from wilderness to promised land to exile to eternity.
