Praise for Coat Thief


Picture

 

"Like walking meditations, the poetic feet of Jeffrey Davis's Coat Thief invoke mindfulness through grounded, regular movement. Profoundly attuned to the beauty of daily existence, these poems upend and expand conventional perceptions of magnitude as they give prominence to sneaker prints, earthworms, egg cartons, and other often unnoticed objects. These are poems filled with wonder, poems that demonstrate over and over that we need not rely on esoteric experience for transcendence––because it is, we learn from Coat Thief, the ordinary that is most extraordinary. Yes! It is possible for poetic feet to connect our soles and souls more intimately to the earth, and with Davis, the closer we are to the earth, the closer we are to the divine."

 

~ Melissa Studdard, I Ate The Cosmos for Breakfast

 


 

"The quiet moments of a life can be the most revealing and yet the ones we pay attention to least. Jeffrey Davis slows down the mind-camera in Coat Thief to linger in those moments with a focus always rich with compassion, empathy, and physical touch. I love his intention. I love his sound."

 

~ Kazim Ali, Sky Ward

 

 

“We are accustomed to poems that seek political change by deploying fierce urgency and by speeding up time to get us moving toward progress. But if the poems in Jeffrey Davis’s Coat Thief are good evidence, then the most effective, and affective, poems of change may be those poems that slow time down and bless us with moments in which we are able to perceive emotional complexes in instants of time, moments that leave us “stupendously awake in the dark”: an earthworm churning through the detritus of civilizations; wasting your morning speaking to a blue stone that is just beginning to hear you; a mother and the child kicking inside her with a god’s foot.”

 

~ Brian Clements, author of Disappointed Psalms and A Book of Common Rituals

COAT THIEF by Jeffrey Davis, contains poems, which wash over the body in a baptism of wonderment, delight, and radical amazement. You will be astonished at how they awaken and transform your awareness of life in any given moment. The words and verses move in and with and through us as meditations that enlighten our thoughts and lighten the burdens of life. As observations of life, they open our eyes to the abundance of life that surrounds us every day. They help us to remember what we may have momentarily forgotten; we are blest with life, and life is a blessing. Every poem is a reminder to celebrate the enduring mystery within creation that calls us into a relationship with one another, and to value and practice a life of wonderment.  ~ Ron Starbuck
