Staging Creation
Reading this poem, let the syllables, as the act of Creation, roll over you. Abstract and concrete, emotional and rational, evocative and literal, consider with the poets all that was created those "first days."

Taking Off the Crown of Creation
What happens when we adjust our theology to see humans as part of creation rather than at the top of it?
Be Still and Know
"Conventions melt, assumptions fall away, / The rules that governed once no longer hold. / I watch as all collapses, all decays, / And search the rubble for a fleck of gold."
Get Ready for the God Show
If and when we actually pay attention, Creation will always humble us. So, get ready for the God Show: coming to Carbondale, Illinois for two minutes only.
Sabbath Song
A poem by Cathleen Horrell, participant in the summer 2012 writing workshop, Believing in Writing: A Week with Michael Dennis Browne.
Meet the Maker
Write a poem, meet your Maker. Participate in creation. Fall into the hands of the living God. It’ll toast your marshmallow if you’re not careful.
