Invocations of Light

By Valdas Ausra

In the insightful, celebratory poems of Invocations of Light, Valdas Ausra affirms the life of the spirit as the source of redemption and regeneration, for himself and for all of us, as we seek to make our way through the complexities of our lives as individuals and as members of communities. There is a mystical quality to these poems, a sense of constant revelation of God as the One who reveals Himself in all the living and growing things of the earth. Lutheran pastor of an active congregation, Rev. Ausra provides us with clear guidance to opportunities for the transcendence made possible through kinship with God. At times wry, sometimes pious, often devotional in their expressions, these are poems of hope and of welcome affirmation of what it means to be most fully human and committed to the important place of the divine in our lives. This is poetry that holds a unique position in modern Lithuanian literature and it deserves a well-lighted place in the gallery of modern European religious verse.
