Prayer Songs is a chronological journey through the author’s emotions as he deals with social injustice, family relationships, and aging through this collection of poetry. Described as “raw” and “extremely emotional” by readers, it gnaws and wails at the sources of pain and doubts in our everyday existence. Written primarily during the Covid pandemic, the book also deals with the feelings associated with death, disease, and isolation as it desperately tries to connect to the reader’s own emotions. The book is greatly enhanced by the artwork provided by Markus Puskar—motion, fantasy, and western landscapes elevate the reader’s experience. The artwork is a unique journey unto itself.
