Some of the poems in A Day without Fear are months old while a few were written over forty years ago. Altogether this is an eclectic collection of poems ranging from the very imaginative to the pastoral to the hard poems about mortality and what happens after death, if anything. In this chaotic and harrowing world, it’s hard to live a day without fear, but we have to try. As far as we know, this is the only life we’re going to get.

“A Day Without Fear is a wonderful collection of poetry from David James, a writer whose marriage, love, and faith have supported him for more than forty-five years: ‘Love sinks through the skin / into the bones, the cells, the DNA. / Our lives wrap around each moment / and we begin to believe we can win / any battlee.’ But not without consequences. Moment to moment choices are made and our existential hearts decide that ‘the truth can be / whatever you want—a law, an excuse, a reason / a lie. / You grab it, hold it close to your heart and let it lead / you where you want to go.’ Truth may even lead to a chair in a backyard where James writes, ‘I should close my eyes and listen to the birds, / live in the minute and take nothing for granted.’ These fine poems take nothing for granted.” |
