Visions of a Gifted Poet

Be honest: when did you last sit still long enough to let a poem reach you?Visions of a Gifted Poet is two decades of one man's life, set down in rhyme. Not a quick read. Not a few pretty verses. Not just another of the poetry books about love that say nothing new. This is a poet's whole heart -- love, loss, faith, and the quiet wisdom of a life truly lived.Here is the truth few books admit: poetry isn't meant to be skimmed. It's meant to stop you. Jerrel E. Wolfe writes the way life is lived -- tender and searching -- and asks you to slow down and feel it.Within these pages, you will:Fall into love poems -- a candle still burning after fifty years.Sit with loss and farewell -- poetry grief at its most honest, in prayers offered over an empty chair.Stand on Civil War battlefields, march toward Montgomery, walk the ruins of Pompeii.Honor soldiers and veterans who paid the price for freedom.Return to childhood, family, and the lessons faith hands down.More than a love poems book, it carries a steady current of faith in God through it all. Some poems bring a tear. Others, a smile. Many make you pause longer than meant to.Wolfe calls it a gift passed on through time -- dedicated to his grandchildren and all who come after.Fair warning: some verses will stay with you long after you close the book.Do you hear the poet's call?
