Product Description
Barely Amazing: Selected Poems is an anthology of some of Shane's most requested poems on tour. This collection spans decades and includes works from many of his books. In this collection, Shane skillfully takes the readers on a trek through deserts of loneliness, labyrinths of loss, and meadows of healing. The landscapes of our emotions range from the perilous to the serene, and these poems become a companion, a confidant, a source of solace, and a survival guide for the reader. Shane's unique voice weaves humor and storytelling into his verses. With levity as a setup for power, each poem promises to take you on a zipline of emotions, leaving you both laughing and reflecting on life's miracles. While the freefall through our emotions may at times feel like a hazard, Shane creates a place to land safely without having to sacrifice the impact created by their velocity. These works are flint and tinder, wrestling as a tag team against the cold and dark we sometimes find ourselves lost in. The works contained within do not tell us where to dig for the buried treasure of our hearts... they remind us that the treasure does in fact exist, and they lay bare what is amazing about what our hearts can endure.
