Eden's Exiles. Poems on Biblical Themes (Paperback)

EDEN'S EXILESPoems on Biblical ThemesIn Helene Schwartz Kenvin's poetry inspired by ancient biblical texts and the accompanying graphics, our forebears come alive with all of their sorrows, imperfections, and exuberance. We feel Sarah's pain when her beloved Abraham beds Hagar; Tamar's anguish when she is assaulted by her brother Amnon; Michal's anger at her betrayal by King David. Kenvin's psalms exalt, confront, berate, and express awe for a benevolent and exasperating Creator. Her exquisitely sensuous and lyrical love poems pay homage to" The Song of Songs." Helene Kenvin both respects belief and recognizes that, as she as put it, "the greatest of faith may be doubt." Her elegantly crafted works will equally engage and challenge, leaving the reader wanting more from this gifted and intelligent poet.
