These delightful and conversational poems explore the concept of gOD, with a sense of humor, a childlike wonder, a reverence for the natural world, and an honest look in the mirror."Penelope Scambly Schott has captured a marvelously witty glimpse of the divinity that resides within us all: a self-awareness creating universes and loving every tiniest bit, laughing and crying over our human foibles and destructive tendencies. With brilliant use of poetic form and license, the author invites us to really examine our understanding of the Source of all and the consequences of our own actions. This is a must-read for anyone who is at one of those points of asking, "What's it all about, anyway?"-Reverend Dr. Ruth L. Miller, author of Unveiling your Hidden Power and Uncommon Prayer"Penelope Scambly Schott spins out a powerful picture of the Deity in gOD: A Respectfully Divergent Testament. The "whole other" mystery who creates the universe turns out to be totally relatable, showing up in a series of conversational poems, revealing a deep caring about all of creation and its creatures. Schott's testimony is indeed respectful and not so divergent that I can't give it my own respectful 'Amen!'"-Karl Vercouteren, United Church of Christ pastor, retired

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a mother and daughter could really talk? Serpent Love: A Mother-Daughter Epic is an intimate, intense, and, yes, courageous exploration of a common story, conflict between mother and adult daughter. In this version, the mother's attempt to help the newly-divorced daughter is definitely not a success. We get the mother's story in poetry - well-meaning love and terrible anger - and then the daughter's honest essay in response. Perhaps the writing - or the reading - makes the mending.
