Water Earth Fire Air: Poems
()
About this ebook
Ed Van Slambroucks book of poetry, WATER EARTH FIRE AIR, is one mans wise, sentimental, and sometimes playful meditation on Gods love and the experience of His creation. Earnest as a childs devotional, heartfelt as a fathers prayer, and occasionally touched with a tongue-in-cheek pun, Van Slambroucks poetry collection, his fourth in an ambitious series fueled by a prolific writing schedule, explores Gods bounty as he lived it in eight decades of life.
Using the language of imagery and style (informed by Van Slambroucks gift for music) the collection takes the reader by the spirit and coaxes him through such diverse experiences as what it means to adore a woman, raise children, conquer illness, appreciate a friend, play the saxophone, feel the wind and worship at the foot of the Cross.
