Adam Hughes
A former pastor reckons with fallout when a lifetime of religious practice intersects with a modern life that’s messier than doctrine allows. What happens when old certainties are no longer certain? What is left when we take off the old clothes that used to keep us warm, but no longer fit? Pluck is a book-length meditation on what wrestling with faith, or its inverse, looks like.
In his 5th poetry collection, Adam Hughes uses a conversational approach to share his own all-too-human personal experiences while pulling back layers of his life, loves, and his relationship to the religion that shaped him. “I want to be known perfectly and loved anyway,” is the cry of the author, as is the acceptance of doubt, disbelief, and drift.
