From the bestselling author of The Wrestle comes another memorable poetry collection.
The Saving I Need brings readers over forty new poems penned by David Tensen, accompanied by a generous selection of carefully crafted poems from fourteen emerging poets chosen and mentored by David himself. From its breathtaking opening piece 'Birthing God' through to its end, this anthology invites readers into a poetic meditation through beauty, tragedy, hope and spirituality.
Acclaimed by theologians as a prophetic Psalter of these times, Tensen continues to write with expanding wisdom, love and empathy, echoing the silent cries of his lifetime and the Christian tradition.
This book also features poetry from: Andrew Adair. Abigail Bucks. Brian Bucks. Carly Caprio. Kara Chidlow. Nicole Fisher. Matthew Hardy. Kaelan Kiernan. Victoria Kuttainen. Franki Maglaras. Jessica Mussro. Jessica Stevens Nicole Walker. Tineke Ziemer.
From the collection:
'Cracks'
by David Tensen
it's the cracks
on the road to wholeness
you have to watch for
the novice avoids them,
scuttling with speed
across the bitumen
hoping to reach
a promised land
without tripping
but the wise slow down
knowing the road
has no end
the wise have learnt
the cracks are
the way forward
going down
into the narrows
where seeds fall
