Bonnie Thurston' s Forgotten Futures: a memoir is a tender heart' s cry and a passionate celebration in one. There is deep poignancy and longing here, but not a mawkish or maudlin word. We travel in two landscapes - the world inhabited with wonder for each small detail, and the internal world of half a couple, observing both the relationship' s moments of grace, joy and intimacy and those of wounding, longing and loss. In supple, accessible language, honed to beauty, these poems resonate with a sense of the sacredness of small things and the transforming power of memory. ' When Love Is Passed' When love is passed to youon a bone china platelike Petits Fours on a doily,accept with gratitude. Life holds enoughawful, heavy crockery,and we have all eatenmore than our share of sand.
Bonnie Thurston, lives quietly near Wheeling, West Virginia, following her last academic position of William F. Orr Professor in New Testament at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary and a career as a New Testament theologian that included post-doctoral work at Harvard Divinity School; Eberhard Karls University in Tuebingen, Germany; and the Ecole Biblique in Jerusalem and 30 years of university-level teaching. In addition to writing many theological books and articles and having served as co-pastor, pastor, or interim of five churches and twice in overseas ministries, Bonnie is an experienced spiritual director, retreat leader, and poet whose work has been widely anthologised as well as appearing in periodicals and previous collections. Bonnie is a widow, an avid reader, gardener and cook, enjoys classical music (especially opera and liturgical music) and loves the West Virginia hills.
