A Visible Sign by Jeff Newberry

A few blurbs about this exciting new title:

In this collection Jeffrey Newberry demonstrates again and again that the language of faith is evergreen. These poems are as fresh as Eden's first dew. ~Mark Jarman, Epistles

How adroitly Jeff Newberry works with the noticing of contradictions, of paradoxes that make final sense, balance, and harmony. In this way, we welcome his new voice in poetry, his ability to discern new sight in shadow, new vision in breath, how he distills "the spaces between breaths," finding illumination and revelation in that hidden and observed place. His is a "theology of want" in which we may find ourselves reflected. Here is where we find the fine, new voice of Jeff Newberry, a welcome refreshment that gives us again to the detailed image, the new, the alien and the familiar. ~Nicholas Samaras, Hands of the Saddlemaker
