Beskrivelse
The poems contained in this book are a mixure of funny, celebratoryand other worldly. They should transport you to the land of thebroken, where an army masses in the desert, following the greatred river to the shining city of their destination. Some have takenup shop in the desert and have made their city there, while otherstravel on to the shining city. The poems are taken from the lives ofvarious desert dwellers as they struggle with smoking and depression,as they refl ect on funny incidences during their lives- some involvingrevenging guinea pigs, confused teenagers, curiously addicted wivesand mental home patients. Youll fi nd the desert setting in whichthe poems are written, is in fact not a literal desert but a place ofboat races and songs, green grass, fl owers, swans, and crazy dogs! Thedesert is in fact our western world waiting for the return of Jesus, itis our world seeking to emulate that heavenly Jerusalem, mentionedin Revelation. The desert dwelling is a place where we try and bringheaven on earth, but where also hell sometimes breaks through. Ultimately, with our well knit words like defences against the enemy,we come through victors in Christ and celebrate the power we havewith the spoken word to bring joy out of sadness, hope out of despairand funny out of....funny!
