But God is a collection of poetry fashioned to engage the minds, hearts, and spirits of people of all ages, especially young adults and older. With over a hundred selections, readers will find themselves amongst the joys, disappointments, and struggles sometimes experienced on our human journey. While not completely autobiographical in nature, Vernae leaves a chunk of herself on each page.
This collection is unique in that each poem is accompanied by a reflection written by someone with expertise or experience related to the topic of the poem, in addition to a related scripture. It comprises three sections a). Love, Loss, and Life b). See Me and c). Redemption. Additionally, there is a Bonus Section that includes poems for parents with toddlers and preschoolers. But God has something for every member of the family.
Vernae covers an array of topics through her poems that ultimately encourage us to see God in our storms and greater than our storms.

She was selected as a 2021 Palm Beach Poetry Festival Langston Hughes Fellow. She is the 2017 NTCE and Penguin Random House recipient of the Maya Angelou Poetry Grant Award.
