What Do You Think About? Poems That Keep You Thinking
Ebook
Overview
The poems in this volume seek to stimulate us to think about the things that we tend to push aside, questions and issues that it is easier to avoid. They also encourage us to think about those things, events, places, etc. that are sources of joy, achievement, and sorrow. Generally, they do not address the philosophy of thought but rather the results of our thinking and how we evaluate the value of our thoughts. At times, many things surface that tend to move our thinking in different directions.
Each of the six sections of poems is prefaced with a question: What do you think about yourself? What do you think about time? What do you think of what you think? What do you think really matters? What do you think makes you smile? What do you think of love?
Drawing together the wisdom of a lifetime from his earliest days in a loving parental home down through his own long years of faithful pilgrimage and reflective inquiry, the poet shares the fruits of his thinking on thinking to enrich ours in this modern-day book of Proverbs. I found insights into the human condition on every page and commend it warmly to all who would ‘get wisdom, which is better than gold.’
——William Storrar, director, Center of Theological Inquiry
Our brief life on this fragile oblate spheroid takes on meaning when we develop a poetic imagination, the goal of all education. S. T. Kimbrough each day finds written on his psyche poetic perceptions that should be shared. As I contemplate his vision, my life elevates above the pragmatic phenomena that burden us all.
——James H. Charlesworth, president, Foundation on Judaism and Christian Origins
