A Little Book of Poetry

by Kathi Burg, Kayla Phan (Illustrator)

Overview

A Little Book of Poetry: For When Night Seems Dark is a collection of powerful and moving poems which remind us that although we will have difficulties in this world, we are not alone, unseen, or forgotten. That although at times we may feel like a small, insignificant being in this giant universe, we are of great importance to the One who created us. That in this world, we will experience joy and sorrow, tears and laughter, beginnings and endings, but with God at our side, we need never be without hope.

This Little book is made up of 26 poems, each accompanied by a Bible verse and an original, full-color illustration.

From the Publisher

“Kathi Burg's A Little Book of Poetry, and its accompanying lovely illustrations by Kayla Phan, was a source of abiding comfort and renewal as I cared for my beloved friend during his terminal illness.”

—Teresa F. Doyle, treasurer, Friends of the Poor



“These words, tastefully set on the page and among fitting images, bridge a gap. It’s a gap felt by all who seek faith. It’s the gap between despair and hope, between dull and meaningful, or between empty and full. They are words from one familiar with the reach, the struggle, the search needed for peace, faith, and hope.”

—Jeremy Ashton, LADC



“Kathi Burg’s A Little Book of Poetry speaks a language of the heart. Burg does not avoid the darkness but she also doesn’t leave the reader there. . . . If in doubt, if you’re feeling alone, if you’re in despair, if you’re feeling angry, empty, or without, read this little book. It is a celebration of all God has made. Poetry that doesn’t turn away from life’s difficulties, yet it fills the reader with delight just the same.”

—Kim Cromwell award-winning journalist, writer, playwright, poet



“In A Little Book of Poetry, Kathi Burg has gathered a collection of simpler things that impact us profoundly; things like prayer, nature, family ties, and aging. This little book provides much comfort to its readers.”
