Reaching out through words
|
This second volume of poetry by Sue Holt is aptly named, the poems search her soul and lays it bare. Sue examines the guilt, pain and self-reproach which go with her illness, evocatively and eloquently.
Good use is made of crescendos and sum-up lines and Sue uses extensive vocabulary to delineate anguish but with sure belief in redemption through Jesus.
Sue has perfected her own style and these poems will provide comfort for depressives through self-identification and analysis, bringing hope and trusting in being able to cope better through insight.
