The Anatomy of a Falling Star is a journey through the fragile, aching spaces of the human heart and spirit. In this book, desire and doubt intertwine, faith trembles under the weight of longing, and the body remembers what the soul sometimes forgets. Each poem is a quiet reckoning, a dissection of life’s light and shadow, of temptation and devotion, of identity and the relentless ache of existence. Here, stars fall slowly, carrying stories of loss, spiritual questioning, and the seductive pull of what we cannot resist. Some sparks fade, others linger, stubbornly refusing to die.

John Donne was born on the 22nd January 1572 in London, into a Roman Catholic family when Catholicism was illegal in England, and there was turbulence and unrest with both state and church throughout much of Europe. During the 1590s, Donne wrote a wide range of verses, including both erotic and sacred poems, creating two major volumes of work. His strong vivacious and sensual style fusing intellect and passion, as well as inventive use of subtle argument and syntax, provided a new radical perspective that reached beyond his contemporaries.

What does it mean that the Psalms are the prayer book of the people? Rocking Like It's All Intermezzo: Twenty-First-Century Psalm Responsorials is one such person's prayer book. Using familiar refrains as their starting points, the poems attempt a balance between how the psalmist understood God's faithfulness and how the poet's lived experience requires revised understanding in some places, renewed commitment in others. In addition to an insightful foreword by acclaimed poet Sofia M. Starnes, these 64 poems tell of an intimate, honest reorientation to God's promises.

Rising star and spoken word poet Jae Nichelle debuts her luminous thoughts in God Themselves, a new collection of stirring poetry. Nichelle taps into her experiences of growing up in the South as a queer Black woman to courageously confront the effects of a forced religion and the inherent dangers of living life in a female body. God Themselves is divided into three equally moving sections: Everything, Everywhere, and Love. Nichelle braids her wisdom—as seen in the poem “What to Do When There’s Nothing You Can Do”––and witty generational humor—seen in “Sanctity: An Exposé”—into every poem.

I was inspired to publish this mainly by my granddaughter. I had been writing for a few years already. The material was on three-by-five notebooks. My granddaughter gathered these notebooks and wanted to put them in a book for our family. I personally believe that the Holy Spirit was involved in some, if not all, of these writings. They are about the constant battle between good and evil or darkness and light. For those who believe, it is an inspiration to continue and share belief when appropriate. Maybe it will inspire someone to turn to God and find the peace in his light.
