Drawing on the lives of saints, pioneers, ancestors, and the poet's own family, Scott Hales explores the way faith, memory, and suffering shape a human life. These poems travel from ancient deserts to modern suburbs, from battlefield soil to baptismal fonts, revealing how holiness can emerge from pain, curiosity, humor, and the fragile work of living. With a storyteller's eye and a historian's care, Hales invites readers into a space where past and present speak to each other in striking, unforgettable ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once intimate and expansive, \u003cem\u003eSacred Scar\u003c\/em\u003e is a meditation on belief-how it breaks, heals, transforms, and returns.
