4.0 out of 5 stars
finely crafted, thoughtful poems,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reading the Earth (Lotus Poetry Series) (Paperback)
As a relatively new resident of Mississippi and an avid reader of "nature" literature, I was delighted to pick up this book of poems at my local library. Wilkinson is a native Mississippian. His work is deeply rooted in the land and spirit of this State. He focuses on the small details of the natural world. Through his poems he shows a keen awareness and sensitivity to the changing seasons. A common theme throughout this work is how to reconcile the two educations he received as a child: the empiricistic knowledge about the land and its inhabitants versus the spiritual knowledge taught to him by his family and his Church. What does nature teach us about God? What do God and the Bible teach us about ourselves? How does it all fit together?The poems are finely crafted. The voice is solid, thoughtful, gentle and reflective. A good read for anyone. |
