The Dwelling is a selection of poetry for the spiritual journey whatever faith the reader may or may not have. It is inspired by classic Anglican poetry and spirituality alongside Biblical texts, ecclesiastical architecture and the countryside. All this comes together under the umbrella idea of the dwelling or indwelling - both God dwelling with us and we with Him. There are six sections which relate in different ways to our right place, our dwelling, the path we might take to it, and the effect of the journeying. There is also a section concerned with Gospel stories and therefore reflective of the liturgical year. This collection describes the difficulties of finding our right dwelling and recognising it when (or if) we arrive, and also how human experience simultaneously confuses and illuminates the way. It will appeal to theists looking for reflective poetry on faith, as well as those with a more general interest in spirituality.
