A moving collection of poetry designed to inspire contemplation and nourish the soul ...
In Still Voices the sensitive reader will encounter a wide range of place and time-from standing by a pond at dawn before beginning farm work, to hearing the ancient echo of liturgy in a stone abbey. The contemplative reader will find sacred space in the author's interior reading of Psalms. All will know that Sheldon Clark is a person of faith, whose deep engagement with sacred text opens to the voice of Divine Providence, which we, too, are able to hear. This is a beautiful book-there is a black and white image on every page to provide exquisite visual setting for each poem. I heartily endorse Still Voices as poetry to lighten our path. -Rev. F. Gardiner Perry, D. Min. Member of the Board of Trustees of the Center for Swedenborgian Studies at the Graduate Theological Union Berkeley, California
Sheldon Clark's volume Still Voices offers a sensitive articulation for such a time as this. His meditative style is rooted in ancient scripture but offers a comforting wisdom that our generation needs to hear. In his poetry Clark awakens our senses to inhabit the subtle movements of nature. Honest to the rhythms of life this volume arouses the wisdom of a contemporary sage who, in his poetry, guides us on the spiritual paths of grace. Reading the poems in this volume evokes the joy and sorrow, the triumphs and tragedies of life. Readers will find it to be spiritually uplifting as they connect with the expression of an interior vision of life with God. I am so pleased to have gained the acquaintance of the author and to celebrate the publication of this book of poetry. I hope others will find its refreshment and spiritual nurture in the way that I did. -Phil C. Zylla, D.Th., Vice President, Academic, Professor of Pastoral Theology, J. Gordon and Margaret Warnock Jones Chair in Church and Ministry, McMaster Divinity College
