  • The Poetic 'I'
    Ken Bazyn
    One should never assume that the narrator in a poem is expressing views identical to the author’s. ''For words, like Nature, half reveal / And half conceal the Soul within,'' wrote Tennyson.

In the introductory essay Christ himself is imaginatively likened to that king of the savanna, the lion. Bazyn’s nature poems, via bright and subtle similes, move freely between the abstract and the specific, the static and the dynamic, the solemn...

  • Humanity
    Ken Bazyn
    How can one do justice to the heights and depths of the human condition, its mind-boggling accomplishments, its horrid corruptions? Christian tradition, in its wisdom, has acknowledged both extremes. We are fallible amphibians, composed of matter and spirit, yet capable of intense communication with God.

Laughter helps us to preserve sanity in a crazed world; provides the lubrication we so desperately need to deal with irritating peo...

  • The Seven Perennial Sins and Their Offspring
    Ken Bazyn
    Who was it who asked, "Why does the devil have all the good tunes?"The seven "deadly sins" are not to be found in scripture as such, but they have been a staple of Christian preaching since the early church.
