My New Book Is Here!
Home By Another Road Is Here!
I'm thrilled to announce that my new book of poetry,
Home By Another Road is now available
in paperback at Amazon.
The Kindle edition releases on March 1st.
Welcome the hazy future, the cloud of unknowing.
Welcome the storm with its opportunity for soaking,
the chance to be drenched in understanding.
Welcome to surrender as it scrawls
across the sky, a message in flaming clouds.
Welcome the uncertainty of where you will
lay your head, on which lilies of the field
you will fall beside at the end of the day.
Welcome spinning and not spinning, toiling and rest.
Welcome being arrayed in glory.
–excerpt from "Welcome" Home By Another Road
Early Reviews
Cathy Warner's Home By Another Road takes us down the highway of reflection and, whether she is the driver or the passenger, it’s a journey that asks all the big questions: Where do we come from? Who are we? Where are we going? What is home? Warner uses every map available to answer these questions and we are fortunate to have an honest narrator at the wheel. While navigating the complicated territory of family, faith, forgiveness, regret, and redemption, she clearly understands we all must pay the toll for the right of passage we call life. Warner has the rare insight to acknowledge all the sadness and grief buckled up beside her while never forgetting to look in the rear view mirror where joy sits patiently in the back seat, waiting for her to take up her pen.
–Carey Taylor, author of The Lure of Impermanence
The range of Cathy Warner's poems in Home by Another Road is remarkable. She is equally at home in life's darkest challenges as in life's delights—and she creates her own delights in poems that vary from pensive to playful, exploratory to exuberant. As the book's title suggests, many of the poems engage particular journeys, while the book's sections lead us through a road trip of ever-changing experiences. You'll find this collection an enriching traveling companion.
–Peggy Rosenthal, author of Praying Through Poetry: Hope for Violent Times
