"A Beautiful Absurdity" is for all who find the great questions and mysteries of the human experience to be ultimately compelling. The poetry found within the pages of this book is a meditation on the radically transformative teachings and beliefs of Christian faith in today's ambiguous, secular societies. Themes such as pain, love, fear, faith, doubt, death, and hope are faced directly and in a contemplative way. The knowledge and experience of God and the sacred are deemed central for purpose, value, meaning, redemption, and joy.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Alan Altany has B.A. and M.A. degrees in Catholic theology, and a Ph.D. in religious studies. Before his academic career as a college and university professor and director of professional faculty development, he worked as a high school and parish religious educator, factory and lawn maintenance worker, farm worker, hotel clerk, etc. He continues to teach (Comparative Religions) on a part-time basis and both wants and needs to write poetry. He has also written two novels dealing with spiritual quest and Christian mysticism. As a young man, Dr. Altany published and edited a small magazine of poetry entitled The Beggar's Bowl. Now in his older age, he hopes the present time of his life is the most creative, original, and fruitful so far, as poet, person, and follower of Christ. His writing is done with the always nearby companionship of his golden retriever, Zeke, whose life of love and play daily reminds Dr. Altany that love and bliss are our purpose and destiny.
