ST. FRANCIS BAR AND GRILL is a time capsule: the best poems David Craig has published in book form over his first 33 years. Each one is meant to evangelize in its way, to give God glory; each one embodies a growing sense of what that can mean in language play. Surrealism becomes the gift of tongues; meditation offers us life in strange places. Joy is always lurking in the quiet, childlike wonder in its startling array.
