They laughed when I told them I’d be a poet. I hope you laugh too when you peel back the pages. This collection of Christian poetry prepared for pilgrim souls is a hat tip to my fellow questioners, a companion for other sojourners finding their way home. It’s a mix of light and dark, shoutings from the shade, followed by hushed and holy moments brandished on the page. Raw, honest, questioning, and devoted – each strike of the key reveals another part of me. Jesus first – everything else follows… Words Are Birds is an honest, quirky, collection of Christian poems written by David Lee Martin, a guy who really is a poet and he knows it.
