Winner of Prize Americana for Poetry, Sehnsucht suggests longing, yearning, or desire. With a Donne-ish variety mingling the physical and metaphysical, these poems explore the concept of sehnsucht: the rise and fall, the flow and ebb, of romantic fascination; the quest for enduring meaning across fleeting times and places; and ultimately a desire to know and follow God from here into eternity.
