Some time ago, I came across several religious poems written over eighty years ago by my grandfather Leonard Burton Gardner Sr. They sparked thought and explanation about the meaning of life for even a nonpoetry guy like me. My grandfather called his collection Lifting the Veil, and it has not been available to the public until now.

As stated in the book's dedication, no subject has been more bitterly attacked than Christ's birth, His life's history, the miracles He performed, the cures He wrought, His death, resurrection, transfiguration, and the historical events leading up to and including His ascension.

My Grandfathers' poems are pensive and provocative poems combined with intuition and physics in a remarkable fashion.
