ABOUT
From stone heart surgeries to prison doors breaking open at the sound of praise, Holy Volta’s is a trajectory shifting collection of poems that embrace the various surprising “turns” of life that steer humanity toward the heart of God. Deeply informed by Biblical epiphanies and Donnean Studies (namely John Donne's The Holy Sonnets), with an emphasis on deep-image poetic methodology, this passionate collection holds a vast mixture of free verse, sonnets, villanelles, rhapsodies, centos, concrete, and ekphrastic work. The much anticipated impact is for all who encounter these poems to taste transformation that translates to the innermost chambers of the heart, and for those still waiting for change to come, to find hope in the power of yet.
