Welcome!

Waes Hael Poetry & Tobacco Club is grounded upon the conviction that, as beings made in the image of God, we should embrace a thoughtful and vigorous engagement with life.  This kind of life is characterized by a joyful acknowledgement of the goodness of God's creation, without denying the reality of disappointment and grief.   It also includes a recognition of the all encompassing nature of redemption, which in itself addresses this reality.

The poetry found within these pages has been written from such a perspective.  God's goodness is not denied.  Heartache is not ignored.   Life is not rejected.  Hope is not despaired of.  At times joyful, at times melancholy, sometimes confused, occasionally angry, these poems are a kind of journal of the soul's struggle with light and darkness.

If you click on the picture of Ratty and Mole below, you will find a few book recommendations.  Enjoy!
