One Bright Morning When My Work is Over

"One Bright Morning When My Work is Over" is a blazing, broken psalm for those caught between despair and prayer, theory and flesh, silence and the scream. In a voice that is both guttural and lyrical, Micah Anthony Cavaleri strips language to the bone and listens for the spirit inside the fracture. These poems are not polite. They testify. They bear witness. They seethe with grief, burn with injustice, and yet, astonishingly, still reach for beauty. This is not a collection. It is a threshold. Here, theology is undone, time is shattered, and the body—its guts, its scars, its hungers—becomes the last place of truth. Cavaleri writes with prophetic vulnerability, conjuring a kind of post-secular scripture for those who no longer believe in salvation but still hope to be seen. Whether you call it poetry, prophecy, or field notes from the edge of being, this book will haunt you, bless you, and demand your presence. It’s not a final word. It’s a way through.
