KING DAVID IN A FEVERED DREAM
SPOKE TO THE LORD AND SAID
BUT HE WAS A SWEET AND UNOFFENDING YOUTH, O, LORD –
"I WARN THEE," CAME THE VOICE, "YOU
WRESTLE NOW
NOT LIKE JACOB WITH AN ANGEL,
BUT WITH THE LORD HIMSELF."
Thus King David dares to raise The Question: if God is good and all-powerful, how come there's so much evil? Many thinkers and writers have even put God on trial. In THE ASH AND THE THORN, his second collection of poems, Leonard H. Roller explores, through verse, the mystery of a seemingly self-contradicting Deity in a puzzling universe. Themed to the stirring, Old Testament tale of Uzza, Leonard invites the reader to consider the terrible beauty of the world.
