A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Michael J. Tan Creti was born in 1940 and raised in western Iowa. In 1967 he was married to Jane F. Warnecke and was ordained to the priesthood in the Episcopal Church. The former yielded three children and a profound partnership in life and ministry. The latter began forty years of pastoral ministry serving seven different congregation in rural Iowa, upstate New York and Omaha, Nebraska. Twenty-nine of the years were spent in the urban congregation of All Saints Omaha. There he served first as an assistant and than as rector. Like many pastors, he wrote thousands of pages by way sermons, newsletters, retreats and lessons that were never quite complete and which disappear into the memories of congregants. The poetry happened along the way as a kind of sidebar. In them the thoughts and emotions that sustained him found an expression. Michael's poetry is "metaphysical" drawing from the Seventh Century English priest poets, Donne, Herbert, and Traherne. At the same time, Michael is a convinced romantic searching for the unity between such polarities as thought and experience, spirit and earth, and orthodox faith and a freely inquiring mind which courts the light of human reason. Michael is presently retired living in Omaha, Nebraska.
