Hands That Sink & Rise...Again

The cover Photo of his “Hands” the author sculpted in 1974. It is an illustration
of life sinking and rising...hopefully, at last—rising. That is the theme of
every poem or novel he’s written. “I’m given to believe life is a prayer and
Poetry a medium. For me to believe otherwise to forfeit life’s sacredness.
Poetry affirms life regardless of subject matter.” Jerry James Rempp believes
himself to be part mystic and part existentialist. His verses range from philosophical
to the lyrical reflecting dreams of childhood. He compares himself similar to the universalism of Walt Whitman.
