      Sep 13, 2018

      If You Have to Go, the new collection of poems by Katie Ford, is a book that conjures powers of possession. I feel that way about all of her books: Her poems bring me to a mystical plane somewhere between language and life. I’m left shaken. Her willi

    Love through me, Love of God;

    make me like Thy clear air

    Through which, unhindered, colors pass

    As though it were not there.

    Powers of the love of God,

    Depths of the heart Divine,

    O Love that faileth not, break forth,

    And flood this world of Thine.

    HOW if CAME TO BE WRITTEN

    One evening a fellow-worker brought me a problem about a younger one who was missing the way of Love. This led to a wakeful night, for the word at such times is always, Lord, is it I? Have I failed her anywhere? What do I know of Calvary Love? And then sentence by sentence the Ifs came, almost as if spoken aloud in the inward ear.

    Next morning they were shared with another (for they had been written down in pencil in the night), and then a few others shared. After this some copies were printed on our little handpress for the Fellowship only; and that led to this
