Synopsis

Ron Cervero's new collection Blood& Glory Contemporary Christian Poetry finds the author speakingwith new maturity. The poems are very well defined. Rather thansimply the angry observer of life of his last volume, this book finds thepoet with a far more philosophic world view, and world view it is, as Cerverowrestles with life, death and Christianity. Where before the poems leftus with one image or thought, there now is a question asked, and ananswer. The poet working from his premise to his conclusion makes for much moremeaningful work. Also there is moreattention paid to craft, and the descriptions of nature from hisperspective are quite striking. The book continues Cervero'sDickinsonian persona, as an observer of the world as he sees it from oneplace. But the poet is no longer content to simply note what he sees. Hisruminations speak with a new and mature voice. ¿ Professor of English Literature - David Mix ¿Ron Cervero is a gifted man! But more than that, he¿s a gift to Christians. The book you hold in yourhands is poetry¿ very good poetry. But don¿t let that fool you. These arepoems that will make you think, move you deeply and sometimes make youangry. But they will make you think and experience God in an incrediblyprofound way. Read these poems and you will thank me for telling you to.¿¿ Dr.Steve Brown www.keylife.org Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
