Lesser-Known Patron Saints

Lesser-Known Patron Saints is a hymn for the holy we discover in the unholy. These poems call on the patron saint of White Claw, send angels to buy Cheez-Its at Dollar General, and find salvation in the middle of karaoke night. Blessed are the hangovers and the rest stops—where grief curls up like a loyal dog and belly laughs hide inside heartbreak. With wit both sharp and tender, Brett Elizabeth Jenkins reminds us that even in the mess of ordinary life, the overlooked and forgotten are still sacred.
