What happens when the faith and community we once held close sours into an experience of tragedy? In Since Sunday , we find a poet who is rebuilding a sense of faith after fleeing religious abuse.
Her work has been published in Fairy Tale Review , The Wanderer , and Columbia Poetry Review ..
About the Author Brittany Tomaselli is a poet who lives and works in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Here we learn with the poet to seek celebration in daily life and to foster a sense of beauty from the mundane.
Stripped of the orthodoxy that both grew and crushed her, she reconstructs a new core of trust for herself.
The poems chronicle a cultivation of awe, unearthing a fresh faith rooted in the present realness of everyday experiences.
Through wit, vulnerability, and rich lyrical language, Tomaselli invites us to walk with her through loss and on to a persistent process of discovery.
The poems reveal a resilience that must be lived as a daily effort to cope with trauma and to root oneself in the present.
After severance from her religion, established values, and sense of direction, Tomaselli embarks on recovery as an active and intentional pursuit.
Doubt, shame, uncertainty, and the pains of loss create the ground from which these poems grow.
