Celestial Navigation

Peter Vanderberg's, celestial navigation, is inspired by his years serving in the U. S. Navy before, during, and after the attacks of September 11th, 2001. These poems explore themes of survival, fatherhood, and war, why also seeking spiritual awareness and peace. In conversation with the ancient Christian practice of lectio divina, as well as Taoist philosophy and military survival manuals, celestial navigation charts a course through conflict toward transcendence.
