Flashes of Paradise by Jerome L. McElroy

$14.00

 

Jerome L. McElroy captures images with unusual creativity in his deftly written Flashes of Paradise. Here we see the adulteress women where “poets trace the true vignette— / how He [Christ] carved a verse of mercy / sprung from secret springs of sweetness / that cracked the keystone of their case / and washed away her shame forever.” Everything is ancient, yet new, and compelling.

–Leah Maines, author of Beyond the River, winner of the Kentucky Writers’ Coalition Chapbook Competition (KWC Press), Poet-in-Residence of Northern Kentucky University, 2000
