Author’s description:

« The poems of I Dance with the Dragon grapple with the « dragons » of my chronic illness, depression, and trauma while testifying to the reconciliation with myself that the gentleness of Christ has enabled. Interviewing the tensions of growing up a child of missionaries, the dramatic burnout of my young adult years, and the re-learning of identity necessitated by chronic illness, this collection witnesses grief become prayer and protective reactivity resolve into agency.

Through these poetic explorations of embodiment, I invite you to recognize that bodies hold stories and I encourage you to hold your own stories compassionately and know that you are seen. »

A Review:

« Jacob writes amidst his own pain and weakness, revealing that God’s love for His children is not dependent on their striving. Readers may find Jacob’s poetry acts both as a knife cutting away the ropes of self-reliance and a light revealing the Lord’s gentle embrace. I would recommend this book to those pulled under by a perceived inability to earn God’s approval, those weighed down by the rocks of pain, and to those who long to understand how they look through the eyes of a loving God. These are poems you will want to come back to for the rest of your life. » – Kaleb Barkman
