En savoir plus
This is Peter Walker’s fifth collection of poetry, mature and deeply perceptive of the nature of being human in this wonderful natural world. As a teacher and priest, Walker is acutely aware of both the triumphs and the weaknesses of our spirituality. He expresses the full range of the spirit with sensitivity and often with searing, self-deprecating wit. This is a collection that the reader will want to return to again and again, each time perceiving something new in a certain pause or the choice of a precise word. Deserved winner of the Local Legend national Spiritual Writing Competition.
A propos de l'auteur
Peter Walker is a teacher, priest and poet. His last collection The House of Being won the Local Legend national Spiritual Writing Competition in 2018.
After graduating in French and Philosophy, he taught languages for many years while at the same time training for the priesthood. He is nonetheless down-to-earth, loving "red wine and strong coffee, the vibrancy of the inner city and the deserted shoreline at dawn, the music of Muddy Waters and of Vaughan Williams." He is now retired - although, of course, priests never truly retire!
Peter is married to Susie, with whom he has a daughter and a grandson.
