ORDER TRACES OF THE HOLY HERE!

Arlice W. Davenport is the author of five full-length books of poetry and three chapbooks. All have been published by Meadowlark Press or Meadowlark Poetry Press in Emporia, Kansas. His academic background includes degrees in philosophy, literature, French, and religious studies, along with a concentration of work in art history. He and Norman Carr—whose abstract paintings have adorned the covers of Davenport’s most recent books—have been friends for more than forty years, traveling together internationally, along with Davenport’s wife, Laura. He lives in Wichita, Kansas.

"In his fifth book of poetry, Traces of the Holy, Arlice W. Davenport once again puts forward his thoughts and ruminations about life as poems, this time set against his lifelong readings and study in philosophy, literature, and theology; poems that sometimes sing, sometimes bellow, that seek, that find, that allude to, that delineate nuggets of truth or wisdom or hints at how to find them."
—Roy Beckemeyer, The Currency of His Light

"The best thing to do, I think, to get a feel for the power of this book is to take it into nature. There, with your self fully immersed in the world, you will become aware of the now, the only time you have at your disposal, the moments that Davenport so often invokes. Another thing you will learn with Traces of the Holy in hand is that we are all made for love, both eros and agape. And this book unobtrusively leads you to the Source of those loves."
—Emília Katriňáková, award-winning poet from Bratislava, Slovakia
