This second collection of poems by David Lyle Jeffrey has two parts. In the first the primary imaginative world is biblical. How might those who witnessed the judgment of God or the miracles of Jesus first-hand have reacted to what they saw and heard? The Bible itself is typically terse, leaving gaps--but also hints--that prompt wonder. In the second part, a gathering of miscellaneous poems, are personal reflections, sometimes whimsical, on special gifts of grace received in the twilight of life.

Autorenporträt
David Lyle Jeffrey, farmer, professor, and occasional poet, has lived and worked most of his life in Canada but has also taught at universities in the US, UK, and China. He thinks of poetry as fundamentally a conversational art, and for almost all these poems there is an invisible but very real interlocutor. Reading them therefore invites reflection on the myriad personalities of those others whose lives are here sympathetically invoked.
