Spilling the Light

Reviews

“Rev. Soto’s book is a gift of lyric human realness. I have shared poems from this powerful volume again and again because they touch on something essential: that moment when you encounter words that snap your consciousness awake and make you say, ‘That’s IT!’ Words that make you say, ‘I know who needs to hear this.’ This is what language is for, and Reverend Soto uses it beautifully.” —Atena O. Danner, author of Incantations for Rest: Poems, Meditations, and Other Magic

“Spilling the Light is a book of life. With every poem, read once, twice, we are reminded of our fragile and beautiful existence. There is no escaping healing in these pages. Take it all in and be transformed.” —JeKaren Olaoya, author of All the Pieces Fit: Collage Poems

“This book does what the titles says: it spills light from every page. Rev. Soto carries a deep light within and when that light becomes word, it illuminates the world. We leave by feeling that we carry the sun inside of us.” —Dr. Cláudio Carvalhaes, professor of worship, Union Theological Seminary
