Murmuration Press presents this third volume of poetry from AJ Saur, which explores questions concerning the place of pain in the human experience, the paradoxes of belief, and the possibility that not every burning is light. From the poet's first question: Don't you see this scarlet trail is for you to follow?, to final rejoinder: Now, every verb's electricity, every noun hangs in air-a sear all can hear, a talon grabbing at heart, carrying to mountaintop... we are grabbed in our attempts to locate our source of hope when the ones we love set a flame in us. The sixty-six poems in this collection arose from the author's engagement with the sixty-six chapters comprising the Book of Isaiah in the Bible.
