Penney is the tabernacle; Walter Cronkite, a confessor; and drivers express their \"Lordy-Lord\" perfections by hugging the speed limit (exactly). These poems variously mourn, moon, lampoon, side-step, meditate, bash, tweak, and imagine their way through the thickets of contemporary commerce and religiosity-to find meaning with the Dalai Lama on the basement bowling alley of a defunct Jesuit seminary; with a sand dolphin and mermaid on a New Jersey beach; and with Jesus resurrected as a Laotian drag queen. Ultimately, \"Surfing for Jesus\" celebrates that the personal lyric is both a vehicle for and the destination of spiritual authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePoet and songwriter, Susanna Rich is an Emmy Award nominee for her poetry and a Fulbright Fellow in Creative Writing.
