The divine meets us in the real world and nowhere else, Anderson suggests in these poems, coming without fanfare and often startling us with its presence. When and where should we look for these encounters? Here and now. In our ordinary lives. In those everyday moments, now and then, when something suddenly stirs within us, a reality we can't quite put into words. The quiet poems of this collection, through their clarity and craft, invite us to enter this mystery, offering us glimpses of a beauty we never expected, a wordless radiance rising in the dark. In Anderson's poetry, hope takes shape in the ordinary; wisdom lingers between the lines. In each of the poems collected here, Anderson helps us taste the mystery hidden in our lives and invites us to trust it-to dare joy and risk hope in these difficult times.
One by one, the poems in Love Calls Us Here gift us with something small and bright. Nothing fancy, nothing explained, belabored, nothing but an episode of what I have to call grace. There is no other word. Just enough. - Kim Stafford, author of As the Sky Begins to Change
In each poem we are led to a moment of awareness: God meets us here. They are deeply reassuring. They are also whimsical and poignant and surprising, sometimes breathtakingly apt. - Marilyn McIntyre, author of Word by Word: A Daily Spiritual Practice
These plainspoken, profound, surprising, earnest poems mark Chris Anderson as one of my favorite voices in this tangled world. - Paul J. Willis, author of Somewhere to Follow
Awakens readers to realize we are immersed in a world of wondrous gifts, gifts delivered through loved ones and strangers, through dogs, gardens, geese, the solar system, etc. These poems are quiet celebrations and lessons for life.- Abbot Jeremy Driscoll, O.S.B., Mount Angel Abbey, author of A Monk's Alphabet
