Broken Bits: Poems from the Wasteland, by Skip Moen, D.Phil.

Most readers know Skip Moen as an academic author of spiritual topics. For more than twenty years, he has written a daily blog about the ancient languages of the bible. Author of a dozen books, his work has helped many people discover the depths of the Greek and Hebrew texts.

These poems were written over the course of more than fifty years in and out of the wilderness. Mostly in. It seems that creative energy blossoms fullest in desperation and loneliness. Perhaps my search for a peaceful existence was never meant to reach that goal. The search led to unburdening the soul, discovering that the Garden is not a home at all, just reprieve before the real journey begins.

But Skip also writes poetry. These poems represent more than fifty years of reflections on his journey. Most have never been published. This journey is deeply personal, often the results of tragic events and emotional upheaval. Perhaps you will find something here that touches your soul in the same way and discover you are not alone.
