Images are simple and memorable: \"the horse gallops\/into the lungs of the wind.\" He moves from the subtle colours of this bird-filled landscape to apocalyptic scenes of massacre in Rwanda, famine in Ethiopia, Romanian orphanages, a fox hunt, a body riven with cancer. He depicts the early monk scribes who painted otters and griffins to illuminate their manuscripts, much as he seeks images to make sense of a world torn by violence, hurt, and unspoken feelings. Grappling with issues of suffering and faith, he constructs his own stone wall of understanding, cementing it with a host of Classical and early Christian allusions: \"The Maker arranges nouns, verbs, adjectives .. and places stones to structure\/the storm strafed wall.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48311674831193,"sku":"4463","price":5.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/files\/VerbumetVerbum_MichealFanning_SalmonPoetry.png?v=1715159726","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.pro\/products\/verbum-et-verbum-micheal-fanning-salmon-poetry","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
