Making Nothing Happen is a conversation between five
poet-theologians who are broadly within the Christian tradition -
Nicola Slee, Ruth Shelton, Mark Pryce, Eleanor Nesbitt and Gavin
D'Costa. Together they form The Diviners - a group which has been
meeting together for a number of years for poetry, and theological
and literary reflection. Each poet offers an illuminating
reflection on how they understand the relation between poetry and
faith, rooting their reflections in their own writing, and
illustrating discussion with a selection of their own poems. The
poets open up issues for deeper exploration and reflection,
including: the nature of creativity and the distinction between
divine and human creation; the creative process as exploration,
epiphany and revelation; the forging of identity through writing;
ways in which the arts reflect, challenge and dialogue with faith,
and faith can inform and challenge the arts; power and voice in
poetry and faith; and ways in which race, gender and culture
interact with and shape poetic and theological discourse. This book
will be of interest to poets and theologians, to all who read
poetry and are interested in the connections between literature and
faith, to those seeking inspiration for preaching, liturgy and
pastoral care, and to those committed to the practice and nurturing
of a contemplative attitude to life in which profound attention and
respect are offered to words and to the creative Word at work.
