The Book of Genesis, like poetry, captures truths inaccessible
to science. - Literature is as vital to our lives as food and
shelter. Stories and poems help us work through the challenges
we face, from everyday irritations to loneliness, heartache, and
death. Literature is meant to mix it up with life. This website
explores how it does so. Please feel free to e-mail me [rrbates

and questions about literature. Sign up for weekly newsletter
