From Psalm 124

“…If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

Then they would have swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us;

Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream gone over our soul;

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.”

- from Psalm 124

Consider checking out my book of poems, NORTH AMERICAN STADIUMS.

Published by Milkweed Editions (2018), the book is described by Booklist as “Exquisite…Chambers executes a magic that is perhaps unique to poetry: he conjures a moment from nothing, draws the reader inside, and disperses the spell with something as gentle as a shift in the wind direction, or a quiet revelation…A crackling first act by a promising new poet.” 

Thanks so much, and I hope you continue to enjoy the photos, poems, prose, and music here!
