Public Notes

  • Kent Eilers

    Kent Eilers says

    Kev. It really wasn't fair to tempt you with some new poetry then tell you to go to Theology Forum to read it. Here is a sample from Archbishop Rowan Williams' new collection, Headwaters. This one is called "Resurrection". He is reflecting on Piera della Fransesca's painting of Christ's resurrection.

    Today it is time. Warm enough, finally,
    to ease the lids apart, the wax lips of a breaking bud
    defeated by the steady push, hour after hour,
    opening to show wet and dark, a tongue exploring,
    an eye shrinking against the dawn. Light
    like a fishing line draws its catch straight up,
    then slackens for a second. The flat foot drops,
    the shoulders sag. Here is the world again, well-known,
    the dawn greeted in snoring dreams of a familiar
    winter everyone prefers. So the black eyes
    fixed half-open, start to search, ravenous,
    imperative, they look for pits, for hollows where
    their flood can be decanted, look
    for rooms ready for commandeering, ready
    to be defeated by the push, the green implacable
    rising. So he pauses, gathering the strength
    in his flat foot, as the perspective buckles under him,
    and the dreamers lean dangerously inwards. Contained,
    exhausted, hungry, death running off his limbs like
    drops
    from a shower, gathering himself. We wait,
    paralysed as if in dreams, for his spring.

    Kev. Are you enjoying the poetry of Billy Collins? How would you characterize it? Any chance you could post an excerpt to see if I might like it?

    I am currently chewing on a newly released collection of Archbishop Rowan Williams' poetry. You can read an excerpt and a couple reflections at theology forum (www.theologyforum.wordpress.com)

    Whew! And I thought I liked to have numerous readings going on all the time.

    What have I been enjoying lately (enjoying is different than just reading)? On the non-dissertation side, "Holiness" by John Webster (this will make you love theology again), "Providence and Prayer" by Tiessen (a great overview of a critically important issue), "Visual Faith" by Dyrness (good intro to theological aesthetics from a Christian perspective), and Shakespeare's "The Wind in the Willows (this guy could write! Wow. I love British authors).

    Miss you buddy. Keep in touch and stop by Theology Forum sometime (www.theologyforum.wordpress.com)
