In a mar­riage of poet­ry, faith, and wor­ship, Ms. Grimes’ poems illu­mi­nate the Scrip­tures that grace every Sun­day of the year. Her inim­itable voice and imag­i­na­tion offer glimpses of glo­ry we might not oth­er­wise see, through­out the sea­sons of the year.

With lyri­cal pre­ci­sion and spir­i­tu­al insight, she invites read­ers on a jour­ney of reflec­tion, weav­ing togeth­er themes of grace, redemp­tion, and the endur­ing pow­er of God’s love through­out the year.

As the com­pan­ion vol­ume to her pre­vi­ous book Glo­ry in the Mar­gins: Sun­day Poems, Glo­ry, Too res­onates with authen­tic­i­ty and depth, giv­ing tes­ti­mo­ny to the trans­for­ma­tive pow­er of poet­ry and the endur­ing hope found in the embrace of God’s eter­nal grace.

When the squeal of tires and thrum of Grand­pa’s ham­mer fill the air, Grand­ma gets thirsty for a cup of qui­et.

“That’s sil­ly, Grand­ma,” her grand­daugh­ter says. “Qui­et can’t fit in a cup and you can’t drink it.”

But togeth­er, they ven­ture into the gar­den to col­lect the calm­ing sounds of nature, and their cup grows and grows.

A bee’s buzz,
a leaf’s crack­le,
a whistling wind,
a hum­ming­bird’s whir.

By slow­ing down and appre­ci­at­ing the gen­tler sounds of nature, Grand­ma and her grand­daugh­ter step away from the hub­bub of dai­ly life and refresh. Their time togeth­er made more spe­cial by shar­ing a cup of quiet.
