Overview

Do you ever think about God and how everything came into being, why we even exist, and if God should exist and be the originator of all, would He make Himself known to us? Annette Allen's poetry answers these questions. Revelatory are her poems firmly sourced in biblical Christianity. These awesome themes are visualised by many styles of poetry: classic structures and modern free style. They are employed in exquisite description and analogy. This treasure trove is placed into chapters exploring God's being and His Trinity, and then His works, including creation and the sending of His Son, Jesus. Finally, His purposes through His church are illuminated, with love as their resting plank and ground. Her poems invite a deep dive into God and His salvation. ""Think not of the love that pats or preens fine, or feigns int'rest for a time, fickle so deftly presumptuous, but Love Divine Amazingly Come Down, Excelling lo all True-loves, Strong in Purpose, One Who Son Is, Was Made flesh....."" The Incarnation Sonnets ""The trees wanted to go dark and they did - let go into black, the sea went faded blue then silver, so night came helm-like over things that are not God..... Now, there Is One Who Speaks - and Muzzles the wind, His Word Is Pure Act. He Lets the beauty of things run, their excellence Endows.... He is The Son The Everlasting One, Son Of God Beloved...."" Sometimes We See Glory

Author Information

Annette's love of literature began early in life. One of the books she adored was the Bible, not realising that one day she would write poetry on its contents. By profession a dentist and still practising, she began writing poetry in her youth and resumed in 2006. Now a published Australian poet by way of inclusion in two Australian anthologies, she has ventured into publishing her first volume of poetry. Its subject is one of great interest and pursuit for many millions down through the ages, that of God as revealed through His Word, the Bible, and through His staggering creation. Daughter of a Presbyterian minister and theologian, Annette had a sound grounding in biblical theology and has continued throughout her life to study Holy Scripture. Annette's love of her home on the Gold Coast, Australia, serves as a backdrop to her poems as well as cosmology, science and music. Married to David with three sons and three adorable grandsons, her other great love has been to serve in the Presbyterian Church since her youth as an organist.
