| Publisher Description: Ian Adams is one of the most striking, original and fresh voices in contemporary Christian spirituality. Poetry features large in his work and is an integral part of the two bestselling books he has written. Poetry reading features in his work as a speaker, retreat leader and spiritual director to individuals and to an online community. He is frequently asked where his poems can be obtained. His poems are short, arresting, richly textured and deceptively simple. The title of this collection, Unfurling, is indicative of what Ian's poetry is about: the possibilities of seeing the world as it truly is, of recovering our sense of who we are, and of the revelation of the divine. It also has a sense of movement, reminding us that we too can open ourselves to the possibility of transformation and growth. |
