Overview

Is the speech of angels poetry? Some have called it so. For others, it is the first thing God created, in the form of Wisdom. Whatever poetry might be, it is a means through which we praise and contemplate our Creator. These are the principles embodied in Like a Lamb, cosmic poet Simon Pole's latest collection of sacred poetry. From the most extreme events of a lifetime to the small moments of everyday life, the poems of Like a Lamb explore how our lives relate to God, and how we are to live in God's world. We hear the voices of kings, the hopes of the most ordinary person, the protest of the criminal, the anguish of the lost: all the possible situations of man. From the Roman past, to the biblical record, to the vast universe of stars and beyond, we will follow the working out of salvation in all ages and in all places. The destination is the Kingdom of God, which is, but not yet. Like a Lamb invites you to wait until that day, in rhythm and rhyme, when in the clouds comes the Son of Man. This is the 2nd edition of Like a Lamb, including the chapbook Christ the King, and other new poems. Bio His mind corrupted by childhood exposure to horror movie matinees, but equally enthralled by the atmosphere of old churches, Simon Pole writes cosmic poetry from the location of Kingsville, Ontario. A graduate of Harvard University, Simon has continued his studies of what is hidden in the dark. Writing is also in his blood, being the great-great-grandson of early Canadian poet Susie Drury.
