Books and Poems

“Matthew Pullar’s remarkably vulnerable poetry reckons with life’s great messes—sin, despair, human fragility. Ranging from baffled to downtrodden to devout, these poems bear witness to a world somehow shot through with glory. Pullar gives no trite comfort or easy answers to questions he raises. Rather, he offers beauty and fellowship ‘When the words that we mouth are barely words / And the hope that we clutch at is scarcely hope.’ That is the poetry of true faith.”

—Whitney Rio-Ross, author of Birthmarks
