Publisher's Synopsis
Ripples of Stillness is an inspirational, thought-provoking poetry book with poems featuring such topics as sympathy, joy, woman, darkness, patience, and always, the glory of God. Fr. Ralph Wright, who is a poet of great distinction, pens works that reflect his knowledge of and respect for the masters. His images are both beautiful and startling; his metaphors perceptive, his use of rhyme natural. His expertise lies in the unity of word and idea that is the essence of poetry. Ripples of Stillness is one of eight books of verse by Fr. Ralph. The poetry of Ripples of Stillness is never obscure but nevertheless demands that we return, again and again, to delight in and savor both words and subtle meanings.
