Ezekiel &; Meytu : Fanciful Songs and Songs of the Book

A collection of poems, roughly half about the Bible and half featuring fanciful animal tales and adventures are featured in Ezekiel & Meytu. There are tributes to the prophet Ezekiel and to prophet Isaiah?s son Shear-Jashub. A poetic retelling of Herodias and John the Baptist are also highlighted, as well as an ode to St. Paul and Festus. When it comes to the fanciful, a grand speech made by a golf ball to other golf balls on the green looks ahead to better times. Other whimsical offerings include guinea pigs that get lost, an Australian Bushranger who goes on an adventure around the world, a gnat that gets too big for its boots, and an opera-singing baby. Stories from the Songs of the Book are from Biblical times and are set in the Holy Land or the Roman Empire. The Fanciful Songs main characters are often animals or inanimate objects that come to life in a variety of imaginative landscapes and times. These wonderful poems bring out the humour in the Bible.
