Collage of Seoul is a book of poetry tracing the spiritual journey of a man who, unnamed at birth, looks to both Eastern and Western cultures to form an identity through a love story that culminates with the decisive act of naming his two daughters. Through a mix of narrative and lyric poetry, Collage of Seoul transports the reader into a simulated flight between dreamscape and reality, faith and doubt, and allegory and biography as we are invited to explore the dangerous field of investigating who we are and where we come from.

In a series of dramatic monologues, first-century men and women–some real, some imaginary–remember, often from the perspective of old age, their encounters with Jesus and reflect on the significance of those encounters. Some comprehend and welcome him as Messiah. Others comprehend him only as an extraordinary figure and remain puzzled by their memories. A few are angered by him and bitterly reject any claim their encounter might make on them. The monologues and songs are arranged to be read simply as a book of poems or as a series of meditations spanning the ministry of Jesus to be read one a day during the season of Lent.

In various voices and with a range of strategies, these poems speak of and into the collisions we experience day in and day out–collisions with nature, art, language, religion, family, imagination, new and old ways of seeing and navigating the world–collisions that result in loss and sadness, confusion and laughter, gratitude and amazement. Still Working It Out, a collection that moves freely between memory and invention, embodies a faithful struggle to attend to and engage life with all senses on high alert for what may crush or sustain or gloriously transfigure.
