I don’t often read poetry, but I’m trying to challenge myself to read new genres and local authors, and this particular book spoke to me. I loved the musicality in Joe Davis’ words. There were a few gems that stood out to me — my favorites were “Soul Stories,” “Systems,” “Pace of Relationship,” and “Advent of Hope.” The last one included this:

I’ve seen hope and I know
Hope breathes and has skin.

Hope hasn’t left yet,
Hope is coming back for us.

Hope happened then
And Hope will happen again.
