Michelle Rhea and Anita M. Barnard of Incarnate Muse Press are proud, pleased and relieved to announce that the second Volume of the poetry anthology, Above Us Only Sky, is now at the printers and will be available soon through the website, and in time for the Los Angeles reading on Sunday, November 23 at 11am. Center for Inquiry Los Angeles, 4773 Hollywood Blvd. The event including lunch is free and open to the public.
I will not be attending because of various family responsibilities in Texas and Iowa that week, but Michelle will be there, a few of the poets appearing in the anthology, and a couple of guest readers who will be reading poetry from both volumes 1 and 2.
This is one of my favorite poems from the first volume of Above Us Only Sky.
I am always amazed
that most people
believe in that which
they cannot see
and belittle me
for being agnostic--
a coarse, flip-flopping description
of omission
they do not understand
not knowing
is beautiful
it opens the world
to me like an iris
I am not adrift but in search
not for an end but a be-ing
in harmony not with the river's
source but its flow
we are surrounded by
mystery
only believers surrender to it
and I yearn to divine it
the point is not
where the spirit
comes from but
where it leads
which for me is
to earth
and I have no need
to worship it
