In 1997, when Ficklin Bryant's father asked him to write a poem, neither of them knew this poem would culminate in an entire collection of poetry. His father requested Bryant create a poem entitled And the Greatest of These Is Love. Although the suggested title didn't stick, Bryant wrote a poem called Highest Truths, which began a journey that reached its end in 2012.
Highest Truths: Poetry for a New Age features poems Bryant has written from 1997 to 2012. In these poems, Bryant provides glimpses of the spiritual truths he has sought and the people he has known and loved. He also uses his words to call to mind events and people that have affected the world, such as the tragedy of 9/11 and the Obama administration.
Through his poetry, Bryant works not merely to record life events but also to portray these experiences through the feelings they awaken. In this way, Highest Truths allows readers to remember historic occasions as well as revisit the inherent feelings they stimulated.
