Let’s Call It Home

“Let’s Call It Home is a deft, delicate, carefully assembled collection of poems, each giving a focus and an insight of its own, but altogether intended to take you on a slow journey, an ascent and descent, a venturing out and a return. Time and again these poems do what poetry does best: they transfigure the familiar and so reveal something of its meaning: from the child crawling inch by inch towards a patch of light on the floor to the man holding the body of God inexplicably in his hand.”


—Malcolm Guite, author of Faith, Hope, and Poetry





“Luke Harvey’s poetry is the book of his own life, in which he observes himself writing. A master of guileful word play, Harvey’s poetic skill with the way words on the page play against each other make this riveting reading. These are poems vivid with details of family dynamics. His gentle but pointed observations come across as prismatic as life itself, his verbiage dense, rich, and spare in defining the earthbound edges of life.”


—Luci Shaw, author of Reversing Entropy





“Luke Harvey’s poetry reminds me of my younger and more compassionate self. His work is more cannily colloquial, more expansively gracious than my own. These are actual poems, shaped by a truly faithful heart and mind in search of truth. May it be blessed.”


—Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim
