Like great music, fine poetry has power that can infuse the soul, transform the mind, and transcend the mundane everyday experience of life with what is timeless and supreme. Songs of Hunger is an exceptional collection of poems - rich in language, imagery, symbolism and breadth of thought, feeling, and place. Sean O'Neill is a poet of great skill and exceptional spirit. His poems take you on a quest of the soul in search of wholeness, healing, cleansing, and discovering a home for the restless heart. It is a journey of mercy and hope, love and faith in the One who paid the price that sets us free. You will find plenty here to feed and nourish both mind and spirit. O'Neill has published five previous collections of poems. This book not only builds on the others - it soars to a new level of feeling and spirit, hope and joy. - Don Schwager
