She affirms life in a broad sense, lamenting not only the children we'll never know, but also the flock of ewes bleating for their lambs, the dead bodies of those who die trying to cross borders to freedom, the soul-killing potential of angry words and betrayal, spiritual darkness that shuts out the life of Christ and hinders the sharing of life by friends, if only for a time. Alice's convictions of the all-encompassing power of God's love, and hope for reconciliation, shine through these verses, as well as her empathy for the aged, the infirm, the disabled, the lonely, the bereaved, and the outcast. Alice's poetic laments, observations, and critiques always come full circle, offering open possibilities called forth by compassion and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 76 poems in \u003cem\u003eUnpaused\u003c\/em\u003e are organized into the following sections: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHurting and Hoping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuminations and Reflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNourishing Nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes on Theology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoices of Women\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Darker Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lighter Side\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Scott-Ferguson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cladach Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781945099212\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Cladach Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45606565609609,"sku":"9781945099212","price":16.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_048793b5-7a60-49b3-aabb-2a38a0756639.jpg?v=1776754103","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/unpaused-poems-real-raw-relevant-9781945099212","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
