Call me forth from the misty depth of this gloom...casting off the shackles of finality...rechristened in the spirit of Lazarus and shedding our grave clothes...awake and live again....

With his fifth collection of poetry, David Greshel explores the evoked imagery of resurrection and rebirth, in search of something unique and renewed in Shedding Our Grave Clothes.

Featuring David’s work from 2020 through 2023, this collection is nearly 200 pages of an emotional jukebox on full display.

From the Introduction:

＂Shedding Our Grave Clothes serves as a testament to four years’ worth of wrestling with the beasts of procrastination and writer’s block; four years of chasing the muse through the same thematic streams and pictures to produce some memorable moments and wonderful lines. There is no one single theme or binding thread beyond my own voice and yet I hope that people will take away the ideas and images evoked in this collection’s title. It’s meant to recall a feeling of rebirth and resurrection, of the shedding of old skins and ideals in favor of something new.＂
