Produktbeschreibung
Philip Comfort's 'Oceanic' is an intensely personal collection of sea poems written in stream of consciousness poetry. Freed from constraints of orthodox grammar and syntax, there are more than a few hints of G.M. Hopkins in these refreshingly innovative poems, meant above all to be read aloud. There are also subtly expressed paeans to a Creator God embedded in the verse. Philip Comfort's poetry is a capturing of the cosmic power and might of God, terrible sometimes in manifesting his power in hurricanes and ocean waves, yet always in control of Creation - including mankind; a God who shares delight in Creation with us, a God who is a merciful, loving God, as well as an omnipotent Creator. Reverend John Waddington-Feather, Shrewsbury, UK
