Description
“Rejoice, readers, as you receive the generosity of Luci Shaw’s 76 new grace-infused parable poems. Autobiography once more merges with theology as these poems illuminate in splendored natural detail how the seasons of creation parallel and explain the seasons of her life as a poet. Again and again, these poems shower us with glorious epiphanies from the natural worldas it reflects God’s generosity at work such as”spring’s impossible news of green.” These poems confirm that in poetry as in faith “ripeness is all.”Like Wordsworth, Luci iscelebratedfor being a highly giftedlandscape poet whose worksare rich inimagery from the physical world〞meadows filled with seeds, flowers, and alsopoems which are like “shoots” in Luci’swriting life.Animals, too, great and small (beetles, cricket, and volesto bears and whales) play a major role in Luci’s poetics of creation; God is likenedto a great bear who leaves paw tracks for us to follow. In their deep faith and vibrant colors and designs,the poems in
might be considered Luci’s
.Weneed to be like Luci’s fatherwhocarried her poems in his briefcase to show his friends.” 〞Philip C. Kolin, Author,
