Her poetry is a gentle response to each day, like an answer in a conversation. Each one is a small, contained thing, translating world events, family events, or insect life into something a little easier to see, to love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe poems are loose, dreamy, and tidal. Read sequentially, they give a picture of one woman’s life during a global pandemic. \u003cstrong\u003eThey read like a landscape, rising and falling in words and tone, like the ocean, like music. They are welcoming and expansive, a meal you have been invited to eat.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDevenish Ford's poetry has themes of womanhood, life in her home in Thailand, prayers and spirituality, world events and racial justice, motherhood, and a strong love of beauty like a thread that moves through her words. These poems will be familiar because of their humanity, and their welcome feels like home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rachel Devenish Ford Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46497403207926,"sku":"EBCB-POETRY-EBOOK","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/6902\/6294\/files\/EBCB.png?v=1714045395"},{"product_id":"god-of-all-flying-things","title":"God of All Flying Things: Prayers and Poems of Devotion","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eGod of All Flying Things is a gentle companion for those seeking God in the midst of lives full of beauty, longing, and mystery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIn this intimate collection of prayers and poems, Rachel Devenish Ford writes from the quiet spaces of her devotion to Christ.
