Marvelous Light

By Claude Wilkinson

Similar to Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons , poems that compose the sections of Claude Wilkinson's Marvelous Light explore nature's cycles with respect to their parallels of, and import to, our human lives. Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione , or The Contest between Harmony and Invention , a title under which Vivaldi's work was first published, suggests part of an overarching theme that is implicit within Wilkinson's collection--that is to say, his poems strive for a balance of euphony and the revelation of artistic rigor. Epigraphs from 1 Peter 2:9 and Henry James's "The Middle Years" serve to enlighten readers as they read the poems that also image divinity's role in the creative process.
