Named as a 2020 Book of the Year by The Times Literary Supplement Survival Is a Style, Christian Wiman’s first collection of new poems in six years, may be his best book yet. His many readers will recognize the musical and formal variety, the voice that can be tender and funny, credibly mystical and savagely skeptical. But there are many new notes in this collection as well, including a moving elegy to the poet’s father, sharp observations and distillations of modern American life, and rangy poems that merge and juxtapose different modes of speech and thought. The cumulative effect is extraordinary. Reading Survival Is a Style, one has the sense one is encountering work that will become a permanent part of American literature.

MARGARET’S inspiration from God continues since it started in March 2015. This 2nd book covers poems from 2015 till 2023 not published in her First book. She is thankful to be of use to/by God to pen encouraging words from Scriptures to those who are disheartened by life’s challenges. This 2nd Book of Inspired Poems to Inspire is again, solely dependent on God’s inspiration mostly in the wee hours of the morning between 4 to 5am. There is no pre-thought of what to write. She just wrote down what flashed across her mind. Her style of writing seemed to mature as she had gotten over the death of her husband and just quoted from Scriptures and expound the verse according to her understanding lately. Included in Book 2 are some personal addiction(as in “Bail Me Out!” she asked God for deliverance candidly. She is enriched by the constant companion of the Holy Spirit to guide and encourage her. She just wish that those who are inflicted with life’s sorrows to embrace the power of God’s love to help them be overcomers, and live life in abundance. She hopes that this Book 2 will touch hearts as the Book 1 did. Margaret has considered this writing of poems as her calling, so enjoy and digest and be happy in the LORD!
