“Peter Keese has written poems of keen insight and a fullness of heart. He reflects the desire for passion within the church and in everyday life—the kind of visceral longing that humans carry, a longing that moves beyond ‘right’ and ‘wrong.’”


—Elizabeth Cox, author of I Have Told You and Told You





“Read these works by Peter Keese. Read them once, read them twice, and you’ll read them many times. They are fun, tongue-in-cheek, poignant, reflective; they call us to be One; they touch our souls. Read them.”


—Catherine Halpin, RDC (Religious of the Divine Compassion)





“Peter Keese invites the reader to join him in these deep reflections on the institutional church as well as the harsh realities of life, love, and death. In a whimsical style, Keese pokes the church with a stick, questioning its ancient—and tired—theology. The result is a refreshing vision that is full of hope, forgiveness, and acceptance. The wisdom in these poems is hard-won and a joy to read.”
