Music From a Breaking Wave is a new selection of poems from Uniting Church Minister Denham Grierson. As in his previous volumes Turning in Time and Sharing Water by the River, he suggests that the mystery of the divine and the purpose of life are found not only in Scriptures, creeds and formal occasions of worship but in everyday encounters with nature, people, situations and the ordinary ‘stuff’ that shape our lives and give them meaning.
The poems witness his personal and faith-filled conviction that all poetry seeks the extra-ordinary buried in the ordinary; and in the tradition of the model parable teller, his poems are themselves music to surprise, delight, challenge; and, above all, to celebrate and be thankful for the richness of our lives.
