Overview

sparkles with a poetry that is witty and passionate, inspired and urbane, exploring life's mysteries--family, love, religion, work--with compassion and faith. Each story is at heart an affirmation of what the heart knows best. A contemporary "Passionate Shepherd" incites his wife to frolic; a boy feels desire's burgeoning against cruelty's backdrop; a couple contends with the triumphs and catastrophies of childbirth and parenthood. The dead are memorialized, the ugly and neglected flash with beauty, and long-suppressed voices rise to the throat. Culleton celebrates what is essential about the human soul: its fortitude, its eccentricity, its grace. The ephemera of the everyday yield inevitably to what's eternal and heart-breaking and enduringly ecstatic about our soul-time here in this garden we call Earth.
