Full Description

The Sin of Being Okay is a contemplative exploration of the ever-changing landscapes of love, loss, and the search to answer the question, Who am I? The poems speak to the path forward being fraught not only with storms but also with pockets of quiet and solitude-peace and grace. They unveil a knowing that we often must walk alone through a messy and beautifully hard fog of heartache. Yet, by doing so, there is much to gain: redemption, forgiveness, the release of the past, and a deeper understanding of-and compassion for-oneself and others.

Dawn Leas has known affliction and loss and the grief of change, as well as the new unfamiliar spaces of ending relationships and allowing new beginnings. The poems in The Sin of Being Okay are a stunning testimonial to the repair and growth of the self in a fresh context: "that gives me back my voice to spin and spit." Rendered with lyrical acuity, Leas uses language as alchemy, and salve to notice and celebrate the grace of the small daily rituals that save us from our fragile humanity, "Always leave a lamp on / a breadcrumb for friends."---This collection is radiant, wise and affirming, the kind of poems that remind us to look for the best anchor in selfhood. "Be slow to outgrow your home." Read this to awaken and enlighten.

Cynthia Atkins, author of Still-Life with God
