by Ryan Diaz (Author)
We all yearn for home; a place to call our own, put up our weary feet, and bask in the glow of belonging. Diaz's first collection is a warm hearth for the weary. His poetry gives one the sense that they are not alone and that home is just around the corner. In this book of poems Diaz considers the divine embedded within reality and takes the reader through personal loss, theological reflection, and the seemingly mundane. Each poem balances faith and doubt, joy and sorrow, and leaves one with a sense that the world is far more fantastical than we give it credit. Diaz's poetic output is diverse and varied, written in poignant free verse, lyric, and ballad poetry. For Those Wandering Along the Way invites us to take up a sacramental vision of the world and, in turn, helps us long for our true home.
