Memoir. Mosaic. Miniatures. Meditations. Morsels. Beads on a string. Love notes to the Muse. Poems. Not-poems. Songs of praise. Psalms. "Compelling and wise as the mystical musings of Rumi, these psalms sing it loud and yet whisper secrets in your ear. You can take these beguiling poems to heart." Kristen Lindquist author of Tourists in the Known World "Morrison's Psalms are distillations on his perennial themes: natural curiosity, the difficulties of writing poems, and the rocking, rolling, tumbling search for true wisdom." Dana Wilde author of Summer to Fall "These 100 compact, psalm-infused poems take you by surprise with their power. Don't wait for your life to happen. Read these poems and take charge of your destiny." Donna Marie Merritt, author of No Winter Maintenance: Pass at Your Own Risk "Morrison surprises and stuns us with his honesty. This collection of 100 short poems--advice, aphorisms, observations, cries for help - shows us the poet in all his vulnerabilities, leavened with Morrison's trademark self-deprecating humor." Alice Persons, Editor, Publisher, Poet.
