A Sense of Tiptoe

A Sense of Tiptoe – and other articles of faith, a second full collection of poems by Karen Hayes, has a refreshingly singular subject. These engaging poems were written over a period of time and as part of different projects, yet they all touch on aspects of faith.

Karen Hayes was inspired by iconic churches, atmospheric locations, local legends, paintings, religious artifacts and more. She often takes a mundane situation and lifts it into something more spiritual. A visit to a museum is compared to a modern-day pilgrimage, she reflects how we struggle with our doubts, fears, superstition, disease, dead and loss. Yet far from being gloomy, there is always hope and her poems give you a warm feeling about life.
