Where Saints Have Gone by Wesley D. Sims is a chapbook of poetry reflecting on memory, mortality, and the legacy of those who have passed. The poems are centered on a rural cemetery and the people-family, friends, and community members-who are buried there. These stories and images are based on a small, rural church and graveyard that has been a cornerstone of his family for five generations. Themes of faith, history, loss, and remembrance weave through the collection, honoring the lives of saints who lived with kindness, resilience, and devotion. The poems explore the impermanence of life, the weight of history, and the deep emotional ties between the living and the dead. Many pieces depict vivid scenes of gravesites, funerals, and ancestral bonds, while others contemplate the afterlife and the enduring presence of those who have passed. Through rich imagery and poignant storytelling, Sims crafts a meditation on love, grief, and spiritual reflection.
