Monstrance

By (author): Sarah Klassen

With intellectual energy, Sarah Klassen takes the reader on an unforgettable journey by Klassen’s unsettling, stimulating and wonderful experiences in Israel/ Palestine and Lithuania, as well as life at home. Combined with reflections on nature, the poems explore the ongoing challenge of how to live in this world with compassion, hope and faith. Nature and personal experience, beyond what media and books can convey, bring together both the spiritual and physical dimensions of living in this conflicted world. Remaining firmly grounded in reality, Klassen seeks enlightenment and higher understanding of humanity through moments of clarity.
