HOME BY ANOTHER ROAD

Buckle up and join Cathy Warner for a poetic journey along life's rough roads, interchanges, detours, scenic routes, fresh pavement, and even a rest stop en route to her ultimate destination—home.

The range of Cathy Warner's poems in Home by Another Road is remarkable. She is equally at home in life's darkest challenges as in life's delights — and she even creates her own delights in poems that can be pensive or playful, exploratory or exuberant. As the book's title suggests, many of the poems engage particular journeys, while the book's sections lead us through a road trip of ever-changing experiences. You'll find this collection an enriching traveling companion.

Burnt Offerings is filled with poems about life and death, family and faith, hope and despair, creativity and questions. From Billy Collins and Smokey the Bear to Jesus, from kombucha to the Eucharist, from kindling and forest fires to ash and ember, Cathy Warner employs metaphor, humility, and humor to explore the spiritual life.

"What makes Cathy Warner’s poetry so special is the way she dramatizes her faith through deeply engaged metaphors. Animated, fresh, profound, these poems make real the challenges of trying to live as a Christian."
—Peggy Rosenthal, The Poets’ Jesus and Praying through Poetry: Hope for Violent Times
