    “Book Descriptions: Spanning religious, historical, and political themes, a new collection from the award-winning poet
    I think now more than half
    Of life is death but I can’t die
    Enough for all the life I see
    Sometimes I Never Suffered is Shane McCrae's seventh collection of poems. Here, an angel, hastily thrown together by his fellow residents of Heaven, plummets to Earth in his first moments of consciousness. Jim Limber, the adopted mixed-race son of Jefferson Davis, wanders through the afterlife, reckoning with the nuances of America’s, as well as his own, racial history.

    Sometimes I Never Suffered is a search for purpose and atonement, freedom and forgiveness, imagining eternity not as an escape from the past or present, but as a reverberating record and as the culmination of time’s manifold potential to mend.”
