With his second collection of poetry, Steven Winebrener Elliott limns the depths of human experience. Anchored in a faith rooted in the Perennial Tradition and contemplative Christianity, Elliott’s poems honestly articulate and reckon with the challenging realities of contemporary life. The lyric poems of Yield are emotionally nuanced and evocative in their expression of the common, immutable facts of human being: wonder, gratitude, grief, silence, the sacredness of the ordinary, and love.
