Roar On The Other Side

Poetry stands at the center of Christian living. We glorify God through noticing, comparing, and naming in sometimes startling ways. Unlike the eye of science, poetry sees the deeper meanings that bind seemingly disjointed facts together. Poetry is the language of revelation, a most immediate means by which we may suspect the Mystery of the Word inhabiting our lives. The Roar on the Other Side is an invaluable introduction to the habits and skills that make a poet; more importantly, it is an introduction to the “vision” that makes a poet worth reading.
