The season of Lent is a meaningful part of the church year. The forty days, not counting Sundays, recall the story of the forty years of wandering which the Israelites experienced following their escape from Egypt. Journey is an appropriate description of the poems. The drawings follow two people on a journey through an arid place. It is hoped that each reader will identify with the couple both in the trials of life's journey and in the hopefulness of the colourful resurrection.
The poet and artist share a deep concern for others, and a creative restlessness to explore new glimpses of truth. Their wish is that the poems and illustrations help the reader find their way through whatever wilderness they face and come ultimately to life and hope.
