Dr. Francis Christian's poetry offers breadth and diversity to the intimate connection between art and health that is core to the mission of HARP Publishing the People's Press. Through his writing he enters profoundly into the bodies and minds and souls of suffering humanity, juxtaposing unconditional love with moments of telling irony. His longer poems recount stories of sensuality and beauty, evoking biblical and classical images, and exploring humanity's very origins, wanderings, and often hidden purpose.
