Summary:

This book comprises a wealth of Australian religious poetry, surreal and sober, mystical and sceptical, including well-known poets and some new names. Not exclusively Christian in its orientation, this is a collection of writing that celebrates and questions. With its indices of first lines, poets and titles, and themes, it is a valuable reference work for clergy, liturgists and civil celebrants. At the same time, it is a book for personal reflection, a meditation on the ultimate problems of life and death.

Notes:

Includes bibliographical references (pages xxv-xxvi) and indexes.
