Blood & Glory

About the Book

  Ron Cervero's new collection Blood & Glory Contemporary Christian Poetry finds the author speaking with new maturity. The poems are very well defined.

   Rather than simply the angry observer of life of his last volume, this book finds the poet with a far more philosophic world view, and world view it is, as Cervero wrestles with life, death and Christianity. Where before the poems left us with one image or thought, there now is a question asked, and an answer. The poet working from his premise to his conclusion makes for much more meaningful work.

   Also there is more attention paid to craft, and the descriptions of nature from his perspective are quite striking. The book continues Cervero's Dickinsonian persona, as an observer of the world as he sees it from one place. But the poet is no longer content to simply note what he sees. His ruminations speak with a new and mature voice. – Professor of English Literature - David Mix

About the Author

Ron N. Cervero is a very unconventional Christian poet. He is a real human being and struggles with life, death, and faith. Darkness and light.

Many Christian poets use flowery words and cliché admonitions in their writings but not Cervero, he is real and raw with beautiful and relevant imagery in his words.

He speaks the truth which lies within his heart, is very creative, and very honest. He wears no mask and doesn't pull any punches.
