A
Synopsis
The author introduces and defines the term, “Christian
Poetry” and explains its expression. It is a beginner’s
guide, especially designed to help the novice to discover his
or her gifting and to understand its place in the modern world.
The author answers several important questions that are of concern
to new poets:
- Where did Christian poetry originate?
- What makes it different from secular poetry?
- What is the difference between anointing and inspiration?
- How does Christian poetry differ in expression from other
poetry?
- What are the types and categories of Christian poetry?
- How do poets get published in today’s literary world?
- How can a Christian poet or church use poetry in ministry?
- What is a Christian poet all about? A Profile
- How much editing should I do before presenting my poem?
- How do I know my poetry is any good?
The author’s objective is to teach poets how to build
a better poem, as they seek to express Biblical concepts through
poetry. The mechanics of the craft, as defined in secular poetry,
are touched on somewhat, such as rhyme and meter; however, the
author’s focal point is reveled in a 3-fold explanation
that spans 20 chapters as he discusses “the relationship
between God and the poet, the poetic expression of those individual
encounters, and its dynamic affect on others. He presents over
20 of his own original poems as examples of different styles
and types of Christian verse.
The book offers several questions and answers from Christian
poets around the world on matters of concern about their gifting,
as well as, excerpts from secular sources on basic poetic terms,
that will help the beginner to become familiar with the jargon
most commonly used by other poets.
