to know you: A Celebration

Revelation in Creation to know you includes poetry that rises from deep vulnerability to the wonder and profound beauty of the created world:

October trees
have revelation leaves
apocalyptic maples utter
startled flaming joy [from October trees]

Revelation in Life by Faith to know you is also a poetic journal of one mans journey of faith in the midst of everyday life; a witness to the joys and the costly demands of the life of faith; to the power of the Fathers mercy and the critical human need for it; to a heart shaped by thanksgiving.

Search relentless Lord
Reach deep in me,
your wounding friend, and
mark your signs in my heart sand.
Then in every hour ascend in me
to heights of you
by paths that I will follow. [from Will your holy hill]

In his poems, Allyn Benedict expresses so much of his inner journey most subtly and beautifully. His writing about weighty topics is enticingly suggestive; never statemental, sentimental, or ponderous. Allyn makes his readers think for themselves, enjoy themselves and grow themselves...and theres music in his onomatopoetic linesit all spells warmth and joy and love.
Elizabeth Ring Award winning poet and author of 26 childrens books including Smithsonians Loon at Northwood Lake.
