It's a pleasure to welcome you to my website--thank you for stopping by!
My name is
April Yamasaki, and I write about Scripture, prayer, and other acts of faith in everyday life.
How do we pray when we can't find the words and prayer seems impossible? How does Scripture speak into the joys, concerns, changes, and challenges we live every day? What does it mean to act on our faith? These are vital, ongoing questions, and I'm eager to explore them with you.
So please take a look around--you'll find my latest articles on
my home page, my most recent books below plus
a complete list here, information on
my speaking, and
a more formal bio here.
Please feel free to leave a comment at the end of any article, share on social media, or
contact me for writing, speaking, or just because. I would love to keep in touch:
I googled the quote and read the whole poem! The Easter quote is right at the end! Wow, I had forgotten the sparkle and the freshness and pungency of Hopkins poetry. Thanks for reminding me!
You’re very welcome–Hopkins is my all time favourite poet, and the photo by Lois Siemens seemed to fill in the next line about the “crimson-cresseted east.”
