Synopsis

Music from a Breaking Wave is a new selection of poems from Uniting Church minister Denham Grierson. As in his previous volumes Turning in Time and Sharing Water by the River, he suggests that the mystery of the divine and the purposes of life are found not only in Scriptures, creeds and formal occasions of worship but in everyday encounters with nature, people, situations and the ordinary 'stuff' that shape our lives and give

them meaning.

The poems witness his personal and faith-filled conviction that all poetry seeks the extra-ordinary buried in the ordinary; and in the tradition of the model parable teller, his poems are themselves music to surprise, delight, challenge; and, above all, to celebrate and be thankful for the richness of our lives.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Denham Grierson, Uniting Church minister and retired academic, agrees with the claim that poetry is the music of time. Not just now time but universal time, an enterprise that seeks to hold the elusiveness of our inner experience, the attempt to grasp sunlight that for a moment illumines the mystery of our being. Poets also read books, play golf, listen to music, garden spasmodically. But always with an ear to the music of time and its timeless magic.
