Tranquility Teetering on Tears is an insightful observation of a nontraditional society and written by a nontraditional student formed and scripted in a traditional Lutheran University that is currently presided over by a Roman Catholic. The poems are interesting to be sure and question the Christian communities worldwide. This questioning was not the intention of the poet gpb but means of therapy in a world being turned upside down by children of an unknown God. Upsetting at times, yet true to form, in a world population at war rather than love. Just poems, yes, fulfilling the poet's call to discover and teach the meaning of faith, hope, and love.
