“Lawrence Kessenich is a poet of honesty and heart, and a fine literary craftsman. I read everything he writes and eagerly anticipate new work from him. Kessenich is a keen observer of the quotidian, particularly strong on family, marriage, and parenting. When his subject is mortality, stillness falls on the page and his poems open into immensities.”
~ David Payne, author of Barefoot to Avalon and award-winning novelist
“Thematically arranged in four sections, Age of Wonders offers readers a quiet elegance and meditative beauty through intimate treatments of the larger universe. These are poems of people, place, and self-realization—poems in which the collective spirit is met with respect and sensitivity. Lawrence Kessenich brings us ‘ … a rich, perplexing world that cannot be reduced to obedience and self-denial, any more than a rose bush can be told when to bloom and in what color.’ As the poet continues, ‘rim us too severely and we grow back twice as large, thrice as bright.’ This book is a ‘thrice as bright’ witness to what being human means.”
~ Adele Kenny, Poetry Editor, Tiferet Journal
“There is a beautiful sense of acceptance in Lawrence Kessenich’s poems. The acceptance that we will all get hurt, we all will get lost along the way, and that we will continue to have nagging doubts, all of which we learn from. Through his alchemy of words we slow down and hear our own breath. Kessenich’s poems are profoundly meditative, insightful, evocative and accessible. I highly recommend this new and accomplished collection.”
~ Doug Holder, Winner of the Allen Ginsberg Literary Community Contribution Award
Age of Wonders eBook Lawrence Kessenich
As with Kessenich’s first book (Before Whose Glory), Age of Wonders is virtuosic in its variety of modes and topics. Many of my favorite pieces are quiet meditations: an illuminated memory, a moment of fear or grace, the feeling of satisfaction when a puzzle piece falls into place. "Learning to Love the Ocean," "Now," "Love: A Shearing," "Dusting Under the Buddha," "Living in the Fog," "Grace," "Dear Anne," "Explosions," and "Coming and Going" are just a few of the poems I marked to revisit. In "Supposition," Kessenich names a feeling we have all had but may not been able to put words to – a gift both useful and delightful.The book is a treat to read and may even change the way you think about your own quiet moments.

Age of Wonders eBook Lawrence Kessenich Reviews
This is a stately book. Lawrence Kessenich writes with a sureness, as well as a deep respect for his subjects. He explores the spiritual heart of things in a seemingly understated and quiet way. There is an subtle elegance about the way the poems evolve. The progression of the book is like a journey, and the author's gaze is a profound and penetrating one. Throughout, there is a sense of integrity about the poems and the writer's point of view. I like especially the nature poems, though all of them speak to me. This is a book to keep, to re-read. "Age of Wonders" is a treasure.
