Eat the Dirt: 52 Poems on God and Being Human - Paperback
About this item
by Heather Hamilton (Author)
In this unflinching collection, Heather Hamilton excavates the raw terrain where faith meets flesh, where the sacred collides with suffering. These poems are acts of spiritual archaeology-digging through layers of doubt, desire, and divine hunger. Eat the Dirt maps the geography of a life lived in tension between heaven and earth-between the dust we came from and the light we reach toward.
With visceral honesty and startling intimacy, Heather Hamilton explores the simultaneous revulsion and reverence we feel toward our earthbound existence, the way God tastes both bitter as dirt and sweet as honey on our tongues. These poems are for anyone who has ever felt simultaneously too human and not human enough. Eat the Dirt reminds us that sometimes the most sacred act is simply learning how to swallow what we cannot understand.
