work in progress. dialogues and poems
"A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes."- Ludwig Wittgenstein Following her "No" poetry trilogy, (No Apologies, No Secrets, No Regrets), award-winning author/poet J.A. Carter-Winward redefines what "scripture" is with her "magnum opus," work in progress. dialogues & poems. Using her inimitable, gritty poetry-cum-narrative-style poetry interspersed with short dialogues between her fictionalized God character and some of the most some of the most notable "formerly alive" human beings in history, (as well as some rather un-notable ones), Carter-Winward addresses the biggest theological and philosophical questions of our—and ALL—time. Controversial, salacious, sacrilegious, blasphemous, poignant, compassionate, and strangely logical, Carter-Winward’s critique on the world’s religions and the current sociocultural and political climate is bound to provoke—not only thought, but questions—questions that demand answers. work in progress attempts to answer these questions while simultaneously refusing to. With Carter-Winward's distinct voice, acerbic humor, and slightly “Mormon” slant, work in progress is an epically irreverent, yet emotionally vulnerable collection that can only be described as "The Newest Testament of the Oldest Trick in a Book."

Saucy, irreverent and honest!
Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2021
I LOVE JA Carter! She writes the secret thoughts we don't dare utter. It makes me feel like there ARE others out there that have the same feelings.
Saucy, irreverent and honest! You'll find yourself crying with pain AND joy while reading. You may even find yourself guffawing.
You'll be buying a copy for your sister but maybe not your mother.
