Incarnate about
Incarnate
These poems are mostly reflections on sacrificial love as the motive force of life and creativity. The title poem of this collection is my latest dart thrown at the target of a coherent telling of the Christian story.
The ordering of the poems in general reflects the sequence of birth, life, death and what may come after. Many were for particular events or commissions, so it includes another tranch of Christmas carol service poems and the Good Friday sequence words from the cross, as well as a group of poems (Words of art) written as responses to paintings by artists in the Borough of Ealing Art Trail.
The poem September 11, 2001 had several months of viral activity and was widely published on the web and elsewhere.
This collection remains open for additional poems but most new work is likely to go into something new.
