I was wrong. I'm sorry. These are among the most difficult words to say because they're so powerful. When my friend Keith Stewart put these words in a full-page ad in the local paper, they changed his life, his congregation, and impacted the lives of thousands and thousands of children around the world.
Life is no walk in the flowers, birds singing and sun shining. Reflecting on life's crueler twists and dark side, Keith Stewart presents his first collection of poems that often deal frankly with loss, death and tragedy. We Are Weapon in places takes you to the edge of sanity and sadness, under the ocean and into the grave. Comprised mostly of short verses that are to the point, Stewart is often openly bitter and hard nosed. Imagining dream like forests and dark watered seas he allows the reader into his mind as he questions his own relevance and place in the world. Though out of this bleak view is born a beautiful collection of poems that is every bit as riveting as it is disturbing and should be a journey every brave poetry fan should undertake.
This book is the first to inquire into the range of influences and ideas, the mentors and rivals, and the formal and informal education that shaped Charles Darwin and prepared him for his remarkable career of scientific achievement. Keith Thomson concentrates on Darwin's early life as a schoolboy, a medical student at Edinburgh, a theology student at Cambridge, and a naturalist aboard the Beagle on its famous five-year voyage
"He knows you, long before you see him if at all, before he comes soundlessly white teeth, like the bones he exposes and cleans with such precision." Drenched in sadness and snow, the poems that make up Stewart's second collection have the running theme of tragic heart ache and pain. Set in a landscape of bleak and cold winter, Stewart lays open his soul once again and sees himself and his actions through the eyes of a terrifying central character, the wolf-ghost. This is a brutal and hard journey to undertake with him, his shocking desires of death and violence are entwined with the reader as witness to horrific acts born out of self loathing, bitterness and above all the blame for worlds falling apart. Following on from his first collection of poems "We Are Weapon", Stewart presents an even harder read with "The Wolf-Ghost", dark and often disturbing Stewart writes of ruin and hopelessness in the blackest hours of the long nights of winter.
