Writing Christian Poetry: A Dragon Common Room Collection - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Here be dragons. And doves. In a series of poems written for a course at the University of Chicago, the students learn how writing Christian poetry involves language at all levels: sound, sense, rhythm, story-telling, and symbolism. As Professor Rachel Fulton Brown explains in her Introduction, these poems participate in the long tradition of Christian revelation of a world imbued with meaning through story, the Creator reflected in his creatures, every syllable participating in the singing of the stars. The students' stories include meditations on death, choice, judgment, devotion, and loss of faith, but end with the godspell that breaks through the veil of sorrow into joy.
