Spirit In Poetry

Born and raised in Huntington Station, Long Island, New York, Robert Paul Prianti has been a believer since childhood. He led a life of seeking, finding, staying, and straying until a year ago when he sought God with all his heart and soul and was baptized on July 25, 2004, the date of his new birth. A seed that had lain dormant burst into bloom. He wrote his first poem, “No Need to Wonder,” in 1980 when he was 19. For the past year Robert has been involved in growing a new branch of the Church of Christ where he teaches Bible class. “Thank You, God, for renewing my spirit!” A special thanks to my friend Richard T. Mee for all his help and the cover artwork.
