Overview
"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 detailĀ how the seasons of creationĀ parallel and explain the seasons of herĀ life as a poet. Again and again, these poems shower us with glorious epiphanies from the natural worldĀ as it reflects God's generosity at work such asĀ "spring's impossible news of green." These poems confirm that in poetry as in faith "ripeness is all."Ā Like Wordsworth, Luci isĀ celebratedĀ for being a highly giftedĀ landscape poet whose worksĀ are rich inĀ imagery from the physical worldāmeadows filled with seeds, flowers, and alsoĀ poems which are like "shoots" in Luci'sĀ writing life.Ā Animals, too, great and small (beetles, cricket, and volesĀ to bears and whales) play a major role in Luci's poetics of creation; God is likenedĀ to a great bear who leaves paw tracks for us to follow. In their deep faith and vibrant colors and designs,Ā the poems inĀ Generosity might be considered Luci's Book of Kells.Ā WeĀ need to be like Luci's fatherĀ whoĀ carried her poems in his briefcase to show his friends." āPhilip C. Kolin, Author,Ā Reaching Forever: Poems;Ā Distinguished Professor of English (Emeritus),Ā University of Southern Mississippi
