“Bill Stadick writes poems of ironic and sometimes irreverent holiness, pervaded by a strong sense of humor that cuts to the core of human experience. These are original, in-your-face, punchy poems about life in a fallen but redeemed world. Stadick’s craft is impeccable, but his poems are more than dexterous exercises. They delve deeply into the questions, the doubts, the struggles, and the celebrations of the human spirit.”
