Overview

Songs for Ascent presents a collection of contemporary, free-form devotional poems written in the spirit of a prodigal psalmist retracing his steps back home to beg for forgiveness.

About the Author

Relocated from the East Coast, by way of Hawaii, Michigan, and probably somewhere else long forgotten, David “Davey” Robert Jones fused his jazz infatuation and experiences with various dialects into an aural-obsessed writing style. He currently has two collections of poems published, as well as a range of short stories that appear in magazines, anthologies, and more popular writers' websites.
