Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The poems in Things Not Seen are by turns playful, witty, and serious. Ranging widely from rock concert to communion, from the stray dog of faith to the results of a mammogram, sewing to shooting stars, Schrodinger's cat to Lazarus, they address issues of doubt and longing, the desire for certainty, the presence of mystery, and the struggle in, of, and for faith. After examining sources of false confidence along with failures to see, the poems explore conflicting ways of knowing and being, gradually turning toward an increased willingness to accept limitation, and finally reaching toward tentative affirmations. The final section, a series of poems written in response to icons, charts a struggle toward vision and understanding, an effort to see with the eyes of faith.''Things Not Seen is by turns knowingly ironic, linguistically playful, lyrically intimate, celebratory of family, the natural world, momentary pleasures, and wise. These ambitious poems explore layers of faith, love, and ethical commitment. Things Not Seen is a wholly satisfying collection . . . [which] bears the image of a truly accomplished poet.''Philip Terman, Professor of English, Clarion University, Co-Director, Chautauqua Writers' Festival''The poems in Things Not Seen are, paradoxically, clear-sighted, looking unflinchingly at the realities of our daily doubts, sufferings, and the lies we tell ourselves and each other. In the midst of these betrayals, however, are life-giving surprises and infusions of grace, pointing, like John the Baptist, to Christ crushed for us. They are Imago Dei, breathing incarnations. They are themselves icons, small masterpieces that lead us to full devotion.''Jill Baumgaertner, Professor of English, Dean of Humanities and Theological Studies, Wheaton College; Poetry editor, The Christian Century''Playful and earnest, these lucid poems will concentrate your attention 'the way a magnifying / glass // gathers the mild sun / to make a point / so heated it can start / a blaze.' In poem after poem, Things Not Seen gives evidence of faithful perception. For here they come, like daffodils, 'green / nails bursting / through the snow.'''Paul J. Willis, Say This Prayer into the Past''The placid surfaces of these elegantly rendered poems leave me unprepared for the microbursts of their inner and outer weather. From dandelions to Christmas cards, Potter contemplates the 'tepid pleasures' of the world, turning them and turning them until I am moved, as he is, by what Baudelaire called 'jolts of consciousness,' at times epiphanic, but just as often wistful and pensive.''L.

Klatt, Associate Professor of English, Calvin CollegeEric Potter is Professor of English at Grove City College (PA) where he teaches courses in creative writing, American literature, and modern poetry. He is the author of two poetry chapbooks, Heart Murmur (2010) and Still Life (2010). …
