Bread and Stones: Poems
Robert Hamblin’s 22nd book of poems looks at life from both sides—joy and sadness, laughter and grief, gain and loss, youth and age, life and death—in short, bread and stones. Part one, “A Newer Testament,” revisits biblical characters through a contemporary perspective; part two, “Bread and Stones,” treats the paradoxes in the poet’s own personal experiences; part three, “The God That Dared to Dream,” is a lyrical fantasy grounded in the myth of the eternal return. Taken as a whole, the book is an honest but encouraging view of the human condition.
