Crisis of Faith

Poems by Katherine Mercurio Gotthardt

New edition coming spring, 2025

About the Book

It’s everything you don’t talk about at the dinner table – religion, politics, love gone wrong. In this new edition of eclectic, accessible, thought-provoking poetry, award-winning poet and author Katherine Mercurio Gotthardt asks the painful questions that have plagued humankind for centuries, exposing the doubt surrounding the human experience, doubt often unexpressed. But she makes it personal, skillfully breathing life into persona through the power of astute observation.

United Nations Award Winning Poet Brian Donnel James says, “Katherine Gotthardt’s literary art can best be described as heart moving, lovely…it is both warm and friendly. She instantly connects to the soul and leaves you inspired.”

Crisis of Faith may leave the reader with more questions than answers, uncovering the kind of uncertainty that necessitates further exploration. But if it is the artist’s job to encourage people to think beyond themselves, Gotthardt succeeds.

Sales from this book support giving to local communities in need of food, clothing, health and wellness products, educational supplies and other gifts designed to raise quality of life for the disadvantaged. All donations are made directly to the non-profits or through advocates working within the community.

Thomas Burson, Poet & Author

Have you ever been in a poetic conversation, had your thoughts open to discussions about trivia and values and if any of the trivia you value should really have a place in your life? This is really not a yes or no question, it is more of an invitation to discover, enjoy and fall in love with Crisis of Faith. Life is, too often, at times, an argument between what is actually happening and what we would like to have . . . happen. In this work life sparkles, ideas soar and at the same time we get to complain about our feet getting wet from the dew.
