PRAISE FOR LOOK ABOUT YOU :
In her poem entitled "Praying," Mary Oliver said, "It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones..." Cody has managed to channel that moving reminder into this luminous, aching, moving, and beautiful book, one that models what it is to reach for a relationship with God, Spirit, and the divine through beautifully accessible, humble, and honest means. If you are stretching your arms out, looking for those weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones, Look About You is a phenomenal compass to anchor you as you get there.
Lindsay Mack, founder of Tarot for the Wild Soul
-----
This book is a new arrival, something poetic and rare in a writer's trajectory; to write about God is an act of submission. It is to hear the call and prepare oneself for the diligent task of being in communion. To share this knowledge is an act of divine ordinance. I'm grateful for their work and deliverance here, daily reminders that God is near. I think of the words of Imam Khaliifah Williams in his final days before his martyrdom, "All Praise Be To Allah In Every Situation." To surrender is an act of will, an act of God. I am grateful for the existence of this work. I will keep it close
