For years Bonnie Thurston has written short poems that focus on a single image or one revelatory idea. They were not sonnets, but were all fourteen lines long. The great sonneteers wrote sequences, often several on one topic and in this Bonnie Thurston follows in their footsteps, leading the reader on a gentle journey from home and through the seasons of the sequence, one that beckons or disturbs the imagination after setting it free to roam through daily experiences that, in the words of , Wordsworth are ' reflected in tranquility' . In these insightful, honed and precise poems you will discover the extraordinariness of the ordinary life and, mirabile dictu, wisdom. This is a collection to savour.
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.
