Faithful Error
Description
Exploring the tension between freedom and fidelity, Faithful Error meditates on life's most sacred and often difficult loves--romantic, parental, familial, and spiritual--against a backdrop of environmental unease. These poems, rich in natural imagery, trace an emotional journey from intimate contemplation to transcendent questioning, grappling with the value of devotion in a world seemingly designed to extinguish hope. A palpable emotional intensity simmers beneath the restrained language, mirroring the manuscript's central dynamic: a yearning to err, yet ultimately finding freedom in a return--however complicated--to faith.
