“As a very young boy growing up in a small town, I found that I was drawn to certain members of the church who seemed to exude something like a ‘force field’ of peace. Their simplicity and grace amounted to more than any elements of doctrine which I, as a child, would not have understood anyway. In the creating of poetry, I do not always write from a strictly faith-based Christian point of view, but transcendence is always of major importance to me in a way that is more personal than abstract.”
