"Logan Jones is a poet. In an economy of words, he gives us wisdom through explorations of his own experiences--simple, complex, light, heavy, deep--through which he leads us to know the full richness of life, the pains and the joys, the despair and the triumph. All this is expressed so beautifully and heartfully. This is what poetry should be and is in his hands." --Peter Keese, episcopal priest and author of Other Ways "Logan Jones's poems are like good pastoral visits--brief but deep--revealing what hitherto was unseen and giving voice to what previously was confined to silence. Read, and you will find yourself not merely traveling alongside Logan's memories of heart, but being transformed by his so-ordinary-yet-profound experiences of God." --Natalia A. Shulgina, clinical pastoral education, St.

Luke's University Health Network "From the common to the cosmic, Jones' book of poetry covers the many bases of the human experience. Through rich metaphors and sagacious ironies, he expounds on the experiences of life including family, aging, spirituality, and yes, even baseball. This is a window into one soul's search for meaning, for beauty in the ashes of life, and for the divine that might be found in it all." --Jeremy Gilmore, director, Spiritual Care Services, WakeMed Health & Hospitals "To read Logan Jones's poetry is to take a deep dive into his inner life--and our own. In the alchemy of his poetry he takes us from his childhood idolization of Mantle to the innings he has played listening to the pain of others, healing the sick, casting out demons, and sitting vigil as people passed over. 'He cared for souls.' He cares for the souls of his readers as well." --Richard Hester, professor of pastoral theology, retired.
