"Rejoice, readers, as you receive the generosity of Luci Shaw's 76
new grace-infused parable poems. Autobiography once more merges
with theology as these poems illuminate in splendored natural
detail how the seasons of creation parallel and explain the seasons
of her life as a poet. Again and again, these poems shower us with
glorious epiphanies from the natural world as it reflects God's
generosity at work such as "spring's impossible news of green."
These poems confirm that in poetry as in faith "ripeness is all."
Like Wordsworth, Luci is celebrated for being a highly gifted
landscape poet whose works are rich in imagery from the physical
world-meadows filled with seeds, flowers, and also poems which are
like "shoots" in Luci's writing life. Animals, too, great and small
(beetles, cricket, and voles to bears and whales) play a major role
in Luci's poetics of creation; God is likened to a great bear who
leaves paw tracks for us to follow. In their deep faith and vibrant
colors and designs, the poems in Generosity might be considered
Luci's Book of Kells. We need to be like Luci's father who carried
her poems in his briefcase to show his friends." -Philip C. Kolin,
Author, Reaching Forever: Poems; Distinguished Professor of English
(Emeritus), University of Southern Mississippi
