Worlds Within Worlds

About the Book

In Worlds Within Worlds: A Father’s Poems and Prayers, James P. MacGuire’s poems celebrate the joys and challenges of love, marriage, fatherhood, children, work, loss, sorrow, doubt, and ultimately, resilient faith. With settings in New York, the Long Island shore, New England, Florida, Colorado, and Ireland, MacGuire’s poetry is alive with the seen and the unseen, the natural and the supernatural, quotidian realities, and sublimely spiritual illuminations.
