Brian Callan 
Splitting the Darkness [EPUB ebook] 

Splitting the Darkness is a collection of poems written primarily while the author was living in Boston for eighteen months. An appropriate subtitle might be Prayer by another name as the theme of prayer runs throughout the book, which is unashamedly written from a Christian perspective. The poems reflect the people and places that have inspired or challenged the author but also reflect the continuous awareness of things spiritual and of the relationships that have been the poets foundation. Other subthemes might be described as awareness and appreciation, which are, of course, prayers by another name.
