Patric Pepper
These poems are written out of gratitude for the simple, common things we are offered; they are about luck in the spirit of love, the everlasting in the face of sure impending loss. Patric Pepper hears the crows’ “tattered song” but believes in the poet’s voice, even silenced, and although the coal is not destined to become diamond, he believes in its fire. The worm is a “fantastic creature,” offering itself up as the humble representation of everything brave and good in the world. Again and again, as this poet says, we “pray hello! across a great divide.”
