A Lifetime of Days: the collected poetry of Brett Alan Dewing

The poetry of Brett Alan Dewing – together in one place for the first time.

Dewing's work examines life under God, lived in 'the eucharistic world'. With a keen sense of wit and wonder, Dewing stretches the boundaries of language and familiar forms (some of the poet's own design, such as the villanette and the vela). Believing that a poet is by nature at a loss for words and that every poem must be a failed attempt to express our 'Substance Insubstantio', he has left no combination of words unturned during his decades-long career.

Covering a span of over 30 years, this collection includes four previously published collections:


- Have You Not Heard?
- Take, Eat, Remember, and Believe
- Reliquaries
- the beginning of the blood: Christmas and Advent poems

as well as debuting some brand-new work.
