With a generous embrace, Sarah Dickenson Snyder's poems offer surprising turns and compelling imagery. She explores "the intersection of want and need" on this "trembling planet" and decides Now These Three Remain: faith, hope, and love. This collection will invite you to admit the shadowy backdrop of climate crisis, pandemic, and political unrest, and still consider, "Maybe we all just want to make something sacred while we're here."
