  "Luci Shaw is a legend" —Christianity Today
  This captivating collection of poems by beloved author Luci Shaw, reflects on daily ideas and activities as they arrive, bit by bit, to illuminate us with their wisdom and enlarge on the meanings of human experience. Like small messages from beyond, these incidents call us to pay attention.
  In An Incremental Life, Shaw breathes life into the simpleness of the every-day and finds God in the memory of the mundane. Through her verses, she explores the intricate tapestry of existence, from the tender memories of childhood to the profound questions of mortality. Her poems are like windows opening to the soul, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and savor the beauty of the world around them.
  
  
  INCREMENTS
  
  
  I live by increments, single
  
  
  breaths of an ambient air,
  
  
  marking off hours, days.
  
  
   
  
  
  Apprenticed to grace, I tread statio
  in sequentiae, edging every step
  
  
  forward before venturing the next.
  
  
   
  
  
  Staggering up towards the stony
  
  
  crests of the foothills, dusty, I am
  
  
  almost undone with weariness, only half
  
  
  believing that the view will widen.
  
  
   
  
  
  In my falling upward into your home,
  
  
  O Faithful One, stay with me,
  
  
  your wind music playing the ear of
  
  
  my mind like an instrument.
  
  
   
  
  "This is how life happens, one day at a time, in increments! And God is in each of them for us," Luci Shaw

  Glory Bishop lives her life in pieces. At work and with her friends, she reads novels, speaks her mind, and enjoys slow dances and stolen kisses with her boyfriend, JT. But at home, Glory follows strict rules and second-guesses every step. Though she dreams of going to college and living like a normal teenage girl, her abusive mother has other ideas. 
  When JT leaves to join the navy, Glory is left alone and heartsick. The preacher's son, Malcolm Porter, begins to shower her with lavish gifts, and her mother pushes Glory to accept his advances. Glory is torn between waiting for true love with JT or giving in to the overzealous Malcolm. 
  When a stranger attacks Glory on the street, Malcolm steps in to rescue her, and her interest in him deepens. But the closer she gets to him, the more controlling he becomes. Glory must eventually decide whether to rely on others or to be her own savior.

  Through poems about fossilised fruit seeds and the sofa where Emily Brontë died, Wetton questions how we curate the lives of those living and dead in a pamphlet about looking, processing, and memorialising. Whether considering preserved wedding-cakes, a non-existent art exhibition or a human scream, these poems speak to the impossibility of containment and question our ability to map and categorise.
  This is a pamphlet of poems about the stories that we tell ourselves, the memories that we construct, and the ways that we value and devalue people, animals and objects alike.
