Book Title
Poems Written in a Time of Plague
Author
Tim Vivian
ISBN
9781725283213
Plague is both metaphor and physical presence. The poems in this volume, written between January and June of 2020, address the plagues of COVID-19; racism, police brutality; and political indifference, ineptness, and malfeasance. The poems offer the hope that the first plague has taught us about the good fruits of compassion and community and that the continuing nonviolent protests in the United States over the second plague, racism, will help birth a resurrection in the hearts, minds, and souls of all Americans, a new Easter. The twentieth-century theologian Karl Barth astutely said, ""The pastor and his congregation should not imagine that they are a religious society that is fixated [only] on certain themes, but that they live in this world. We do indeed need, according to my old formulation, the Bible and the newspaper."" With the poems in this volume, the author, newspaper in hand, reflects on events from January to early June 2020 and does so by integrating reflections on Scripture with current events.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Tim VivianPublisher: Resource Publications (CA)Published: 08/19/2020ISBN: 9781725283213Pages: 162Weight: 0.85lbsSize: 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d
