Reading Jungle of Faith Together

Discussion Questions

  1. 1.

    The collection's epigraph asks whether we can remain "a champion of love if not of fate." How does that question echo through the poems you read?

  2. 2.

    Jungle of Faith moves between grief, humor, and faith, often within the same poem. Where did that mix surprise you most?

  3. 3.

    Several poems return to the poet's childhood home and family. What role does place play in how memory is portrayed?

  4. 4.

    How does Tim's dual identity as a pastor and a poet shape the way faith is portrayed — is it certain, questioning, or something else?

  5. 5.

    Which poem would you choose to read aloud to the group, and why?
