The poems witness Grierson's personal, faith-filled conviction that all poetry seeks the extra-ordinary buried in the ordinary. His poems are themselves music to surprise, delight, challenge; and be thankful for the richness of our lives.
Denham Grierson, Uniting Church minister and retired academic, agrees with the claim that poetry is the music of time. Not just now time but universal time, an enterprise that seeks to hold the elusiveness of our inner experience, the attempt to grasp sunlight that for a moment illumines the mystery of our being. Poets also read books, play golf, listen to music, garden spasmodically. But always with an ear to the music of time and its timeless magic.
