In this collection of assorted poems, local poet Stella Beratlis explores the landscapes we inhabit—both literal and emotional—and the pressures that build beneath their surfaces. Drawing on the imagery of California’s Central Valley, the poems move from what breaks us open to the clearing we create when we attempt to stitch together a new world. Worship leaders: Sharon Arpoika and Melynda Rodriguez. Tech Maestro: Adlai Fredrickson.
