Congrats to Paul Christy on the recent release of his book of poetry, Nuances of Time, edited by Thomas C. Cannon.
Paul's unique vision of the world exemplifies how language and our perceptions direct us, sometimes away from truth, from God. Paul has collected these poems to share with family and friends but these intimate poems will engage any reader.
