In this collection, poet Craig Fredrickson explores sacred moments that surface within the mechanical, impersonal contours of contemporary urban life, tracing how grace can break through even in environments seemingly designed to erase the individual. The book's six sections—Recognition, Witness, Systems, Darkness, Injustice, and Transcendence—form a kind of spiritual map of the city complete with crosswalks, factory floors, subway cars, and hospital corridors. These rich poems are part of the poet's efforts to bring questions of faith, dignity, and justice into dialogue with everyday life. POETRY / General ISBN: 978-1-971191-25-6 (print; softcover; perfect bound) 112 pages |

Craig Fredrickson is a retired executive pursuing new callings in poetry, theology, and music, drawn always to the holy things found in the mundane. The poems in Glass and Steel keep watch over a city that could be any city, attentive to its night-shift workers, its turnstiles and receipts, its quiet mercies, looking until the unseen begins to shine. His poetry has appeared in Poetry Lab Shanghai and the anthology Unhoused, and his essays in Still Point Arts Quarterly, Ad Fontes Journal, and byFaith magazine. He is a recipient of the Prairie Soul Poetry Prize. He lives in York, South Carolina, with his wife, Karen, and their dog, Sugar Bear. |
