Oceanic: Ocean-Inspired Poems

Philip Comforts Oceanic is an intensely personal collection of sea poems written in stream of consciousness poetry. Freed from constraints of orthodox grammar and syntax there are more than a few hints of G.M. Hopkins in these refreshingly innovative poems meant above all to be read aloud. There are also subtly expressed paeans to a Creator God embedded in the verse. Philip Comforts poetry is a capturing of the cosmic power and might of God terrible sometimes in manifesting his power in hurricanes and ocean waves yet always in control of Creation - including mankind; a God who shares delight in Creation with us a God who is a merciful loving God as well as an omnipotent Creator.
