The Vanishing Song by Jay Hulme

Buy it from Bookshop.org and support local booksellers 


Jay has a playfulness that actually acts to intensify the power and pathos on their poems.


The final line of the introduction “I hope your prayers are ancient, your songs are remnants, and your faith carries you home” feels like words Jim Cotter would have written.


Although it might almost be quicker to list the poems I didn’t tag, this are the ones I did…


An Almost Pilgrimage

The Martyrs of Compiegne

The Temptation of Simeon Theodochos

The Monk in the Bookshop

A Congregation of None

We Miraculous Specimens

In the Pit Beneath Caiaphas’ House
