By throwing the Bible and other cultural narratives on the turntable and spinning them backwards, Priest unleashes surprisingly new but strangely familiar music and meaning.

Off My Chest is a poetry book that focuses on the importance of emotions and experiences. This book will appeal to those who have gone through hardships and those who may feel jaded or feel that what is happening to them is inexpressible, only to end up being misunderstood.

Therefore, an outlet and coping mechanism - arguably, a form of therapy - is needed. That is what I present to you in the form of this manuscript.

Voices emanate from celebrities who inhabit cabins at Emma Lake, an old man sitting on a bench in Portugal, and the patrons of a fictional pub among others, all taking stock of the world we inhabit. This collection is an homage to the natural and physical world and how "We still and always love the tender fits / our language endures, lost souls asleep before the gate".

Jay Heins’ debut poetry collection, Book of Hours, gently asks you to consider both small miracles and large tragedies. Inspired by medieval Christian illuminated manuscripts, Heins adapts this practice of pairing poetry with visual art into a nature-based secular kind of worship.
