What people have said
“This is a vital, fluent, sometimes funny, sometimes heart-breaking collection about the reality of suffering, by a poet whose energy and grace are always salted with wryness.”
Martyn Halsall, poet and author of ‘Sanctuary’, writing in the Church Times
“Absolutely loved it!”
Adrian Plass, bestselling author of ‘The Sacred Diary of Adrian Plass, Aged 37 3/4’ and more
“These are poems for you, especially if you are going through some very deep waters. Her words are brutally honest, at times playful, even in her disappointments. But they are full of life and encouragement. I was going through a deep place myself and I found her poems a wonderful encouragement to finding God’s love in the midst of excruciating and incomprehensible pain.”
Wayne Jacobsen, bestselling author of ‘He Loves Me!’
Any reader finishing the book is left with a sense of hope and resilience because, despite everything, Jenny Rowbory has a deep faith in God. Although she sometimes flails out at Him, ‘Can’t You Be A Magician, Lord?’, and sometimes questions her relationship with Him, ‘Let Me In’, she has faith that God is always there for everyone.
Clare Dudman, award-winning author of ‘Edge of Danger’ and ‘A Place of Meadows and Tall Trees’
“Full of raw beauty and rare insight, these are poems that bypass your mind and go straight for the solar plexus. Her poetry will instantly resonate with anyone who has experienced loss and lostness. I heartily commend her poetry as a wise and empathetic companion in the face of all kinds of suffering.”
Tanya Marlow, disability campaigner and author of ‘Those Who Wait’
