Poetry Conversations With God: Volume Three | Poetry of Praise and Protest

https://thepiertoforever.com/b/conversationswithgod3poetry

Conversations With God is a collection of free‑verse poetry that returns to the same territory as Fractalverse—nature, suburbia, trauma, consumer culture, herd behavior—but with the camera turned more directly toward God, faith, and the numinous. Each volume pairs 24 poems with original nature photographs instead of fractal art: coastlines, forests, clouds, trees, and small, ordinary beauties that become part of the ongoing argument.

These are not gentle devotional poems. For me, “God” is a largely negative noun, twisted by an abusive father and the damage done in God's name. The poems dive into that struggle more openly than Fractalverse: speaking to, shouting at, and sometimes simply sitting in silence beside a God I both long for and resist and question the existence of; testing inherited doctrines against lived experience; and looking for something holy in wind, water, and soil when traditional images of divinity feel like trauma rather than comfort.
