In \u201cCusp Overflows,\u201d he marvels at the light the birth of a new baby brings in the life of people around her. Though Schmit\u2019s forms vary (vacillating between long and short lines and stanzas), the underlying tone stays consistent throughout the book: there\u2019s much to marvel at in everyday life and to explore the handiwork of God. Readers looking for spiritual renewal will find this beautifully crafted, perceptive collection worthy of their time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Head Lines<\/h2>\n<h2>Poems and Provocations, A 60 Day Devotional to Personal Psalmistry<\/h2>\n<h3>by Will Schmit<\/h3>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1945976373\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4>Living Parables of Central Florida, Inc.<\/h4>\n<h4>Pub date April 15, 2019<\/h4>\n<h4>ISBN 9781945976377<\/h4>\n<h4>Price $14 (USD)<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; An elegantly written, earnest collection\u2026 With this meditative collection of poems and essays, Schmit balances mysticism with a celebration of the everyday.
