Reverend Kevin Francis is pleased to announce the publication of his new collection of poetry, The Birds of the Air, the Beasts of the Field. The book is now available through major book retailers.

This contemplative and reflective volume explores themes of faith, creation, and pilgrimage, with poems rooted in particular places and lived experience. Several pieces draw inspiration from locations that may be familiar to readers, including Charlotte; travels to mission sites in North Carolina; and time spent in Pittsburgh, Kansas, Colorado, and Columbus, NC. Each poem invites the reader into a prayerful attentiveness to place, presence, and the movements of God in ordinary and extraordinary moments.
