Desert of this Beauty

$17.50

by Lesa Caldarella

In Desert of this Beauty, Lesa Caldarella explores her interior and we are graced with the treasures she finds there. Her poems are bloody and heart-crushing, rich with dark tones and piercing details, but tinged with a humor and playfulness that is refreshing throughout. Some of her themes are as grand as regret and redemption, but Caldarella’s striking sensory images and creativity of form gives everything a fresh perspective. I was alternately surprised and inspired. Many of her lines are still affecting me.

Real Bread

$17.50

By Lesa Caldarella-Wong

Diving into these words was an exercise in bearing witness to a part of the human
experience I had only read about in the newspapers. I remember reading about Rwanda. I
prayed. But I was removed. Reading Real Bread was a journey into the darkest parts of
humanity; haunting and harrowing, yes, but bearable and illuminating because Lesa
Caldarella bore witness with love, with the eyes and heart of God as embodied within as a
“woman from the West.”
