Jodi Page-Clark

Poetry of an Appalachian pilgrim Jodi Page-Clark

These poems and reflections span Jodi's life from recollections of childhood, her experiences of joyful worship, the impact of rejection and abuse, and her struggles with facing old age. She combines musings about faith and human existence with insights from her psychotherapy training and the work she undertook with the discouraged and wounded people who often looked for help to the Christian community of which Jodi was a leading member for some thirty years. With honesty and humour she writes simply about family life, falling in love, relationship breakdown, reconciliation and hope. Jodi is part mystic, which makes her reflections a refreshingly candid prompt for others who struggle with aspects of life and faith. Many readers will identify, perhaps with a tear or a smile, with many of the phrases you will find within. A collection of poems to warm the heart and stimulate the soul.
