A Lifetime of Days
Brett Alan Dewing
The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time.
Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in "the eucharistic world". With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our "Substance Insubstantio", he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career.
Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:
Have You Not Heard?Take, Eat, Remember, and BelieveReliquariesthe beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poemsas well as debuting some brand-new work.
Duration - 20h 58m.
