The Chance of Home: Poems (Paraclete Poetry)

Description: The Chance of Home: Poems (Paraclete Poetry) [Paperback] Burrows, Mark S. Product Overview The Chance of Home Somewhere there must be where no one wonders whether you
belong… So begins the title poem of this remarkable collection from a popular
poet and scholar of mysticism. These poems remind us that “home” shapes us,
not as a particular place; home is a way of being in this world, for us and
for the creatures with whom we share it. It finds expression in the inner
light that carries us through dark seasons and in what inspires us to risk
life in the face of death. Home comes to us in the unexpected glimpses we
sometimes have of a wholeness resonant enough to hold us amid fragments. Many
of these poems come from a long looking at the familiar and the ordinary, a
patient listening for traces of a beauty that might still save us—in the
rhythms of a street musician plying his trade in a Lisbon subway, the radiance
of birdsong interrupting the night’s last hour, and the tolling of an old
temple bell that “still sings in the silences.” They ponder the resilience
that lies at the heart of the natural world, as well as in our desire to
thrive amid the distractions that pressure us in our lives. In an over-
saturated age like ours, they invite us to linger at the edges of silence, and
wonder what it means that we are not made for reason alone, but “for what song
can bring of solace and delight.” Read more Details Publisher ‏ : ‎ Paraclete Press (February 20, 2018) Language ‏ : ‎ English Paperback ‏ : ‎ 128 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0571250629 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 76 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 6.4 ounces Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 5.5 x 0.3 x 8.4 inches Best Sellers Rank: #1,393,898 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) #920 in Christian Poetry (Books) #2,353 in Inspirational & Religious Poetry (Books) #5,135 in American Poetry (Books) Quality Products This will be shipped securely Returns must be within 30 days - item EXACTLY as it was sent.
