Memories

Austin Patty artfully weaves the poetry of Memories into a fascinating tapestry of personal reflection drawn from four decades of his life experiences. Armed with his life-long love of the English language, his developed skills of word composition, and his natural talent for lyrical phrasing, he began to pen poems that chronicled memorable life events from the 1960s to 2000. Patty begins his journey as a nonbelieving humanist, traveling to the present as a mature, devout, and witnessing Christian. Readers will enjoy his penchant for irony, wit, and humor (sometime robust). His deep soul searching and then discovery propel the reader on to the next poem. This is a wonderful book, alive with deep reflections of love and gleeful expressions of joy, full of gratitude to God. This publication is a must for every lover of God in Christ who enjoys poetry and for those seeking God who have an attraction to poetry, crafted in classical and contemporary lines.
