Synopsis

What Will Soon Take Place is an imaginative journey through the book of Revelation. It offers a poet's view of the prophetic, not in the sense of seeking out clues to the end times, but a means of taking this strange, fantastic book of scripture and letting it read its way into personal lives. This is not prophecy as foretelling, but forth-telling: telling us the truths of our lives in the light of God's light. But rather than escape into some safe, heavenly realm, the poems return to our homes and meet us in the form of our neighbors, persecuted believers, and in shopping malls with vivid, edged-up language and the authority to believe and doubt at once.

Media Reviews
It is upon this hope that these poems are focused-on the hope expressed in the most ordinary life as well as the thin and clinging hope in desolation. In these poems you will find fear and trepidation, grandeur, failure and folly, and the hope that infuses it all. They speak of everything from a relationship with nature to wondering how a victim of abuse will find a way to trust in the hope of a loving God returning to earth to save her from her abuser.
