Finding My Way: One Man’s Spiritual Quest For The Divine Presence by Marc A. Crowley

4 star rating

Finding My Way: One Man’s Spiritual Quest For The Divine Presence by Marc A. Crowley is a poetry collection that is a warm and comforting read. 

Crowley blends free-spirited, lyrical free verse with reflective prose essays. It has a rhythm that forces you to slow down and breathe. He presents nature and is attentive to the natural world. He uses simple images, like wind blown grass, to anchor big, heavy thoughts about life. He explores a quiet, resilient faith, looking at both good times and bad, childhood wounds, and the pain of divorce.

He speaks of many different things that lead from one thing to something else. He speaks of spiritual ideas, to nature, to life, and even to his surroundings.

The book builds toward a beautiful sense of spiritual closure and absolute peace. It moves away from needing all the answers and lands on total acceptance.

Marc A. Crowley isn't just a poet; he’s a retired Arizona history, government, and writing teacher. He also has a degree in religious studies, plays the trumpet, and loves hiking the desert. You can really feel that multi-layered background in every line he writes. If you love introspective, nature-focused spiritual memoirs, this one belongs on your bookshelf.

Thank you, Atmosphere Press, author Marc A. Crowley, for this book review consideration. All review opinions and information are my own.
