The Stranger: Poems
The Stranger: Poems
Poetic meditations on Jesus Christ, the one T.S. Eliot called "the Stranger" in his "Choruses From The Rocks." This book is Ben Palpant's attempt to answer the Strangers troubling questions, especially the Stranger's most haunting question, "Where has God gone?" Poetry acts as an insurgency against any part of existence that has calcified. It's a revolution, like springtime, that begins first in the author's own heart. It's the insurrection of a blind man rising to navigate the dark. These poems are one man's attempt to rise and meet the Stranger.
Palpant's second volume of poetry is a riff off of T.S. Eliot's character in Choruses From "The Rock," the one who knows how to ask questions. In The Stranger, Palpant attempts to answer the most troubling of all questions, "Where has God gone?" These poems offer ancient answers in a uniquely personal and contemporary way, exploring God's divine intrusion into our world in the person of Jesus Christ and his subsequent disruption of our existence. This book is one man's attempt to rise and meet the Stranger.Poetry that points our hearts and minds back to Jesus-sometimes humorously, sometimes fiercely, but always hopefully.
