Greater Things Than These is a lyrical fever dream—a cry from someone laying in the dark on the chapel floor. In this incandescent debut collection, Clayton James Hester writes with the hunger of a mystic and the heartbreak of a lover unmoored. These poems are not polite. They weep, ache, yearn, praise, and burn. They trace the sacred and profane in the aftermath of love, the marrow-deep ache of desire, the ghost of God, and the body as both altar and battlefield. Raised on a Missouri farm and trained as a journalist, Hester fuses devotional cadence with raw emotional maximalism. He writes toward the invisible, the forbidden, the abandoned—inviting the reader to a place where vulnerability becomes holy and grief becomes song. This is not a collection for the dispassionate. It is a love letter to shattered souls and everything that shatters them
