Magellan’s Shadow: Faith Poems journeys through the shadows that permeate our ordinary lives, sometimes sheltering, sometimes threatening — the everyday darkness in which “we live and move and have our being.”  The book’s first four sections explore shadows of Memory, The Almighty, Change, and Healing.  The final section, Light, moves out of the shadows, integrating the blessings received in darkness. 

From the loneliness of “The Plates” to the poignant intimacy of “Tourist,” from the simple joy of “You Delight in Me” to the profound gratitude of “The Thank You Note,” these poems reveal life on a curve of dark and light, in the hands of a gentle God.
