VIETNAMESE WILD MEN FOUND LIVING IN THE JUNGLE

If I was a Hollywood insider I would lobby to have their story made into a movie. Read all about it HERE.

BUY MY BOOK. HELP US MOVE.

(Mom, I will not be paying you any royalties for posing on the cover.)

God willing, Sarah and I will be moving away from Idyllwild and Camp Maranatha before the end of the year to pursue my calling to pastoral ministry. Understandably that presents us with a mix of emotions. Mostly, we are excited but anytime you tear up roots as deep as the ones we have sunk in Idyllwild there's gonna be some pain too. We have not yet made our decision on where to go from here, but all signs are pointing to a decision within the next month, and a move before Thanksgiving.

Moving is expensive, and the Tates will be in need of cash. So here's how you can help. To raise money to help us move I have written a book containing 50 collected poems, which I have written mostly over the past three years.

The book, titled "Like Smoke," contains such lines as;

As the sun spread
Over the frozen field
It blazed and bristled
Like an elfin army-
Millions upon millions
Of silver spears.
(From the poem "Burning Bushes")

She spoke words into me
Like a spark into tinder
And watched with joy
As the wild thing spread.
(From the poem "Spark Into Tinder")

and many, many more...

I will be posting a few poems between now and the end of the month so you can sample the goods.

Here's what the critics are saying-

"Like Smoke is the single greatest thing ever written in the English language. Move over, Shakespeare!"
Tosh Jate

"After reading Like Smoke I decided to stop being a writer. Everything I have ever written comes off like the ugly sister compared to this book. In the pages of Like Smoke I witnessed the highest summit of prose, and it was such a height of excellence that my efforts as a writer could simply never attain. Why continue? My life is a mediocre waste."
Chuck Berlinsky

"Wow! Just wow!"
Barak Obama, 44th President of the United States
