Do you read Christian poetry, and do you have any recomendations?

Bookish Question #391 | Do you read Christian poetry, and do you have any recommendations?

No, I don’t read Christian poetry.

I do read the Bible, which includes a lot of poetry, but most of that is in the Old Testament (especially in Psalms). Technically, that’s not Christian poetry because it predates Jesus.

The last book of poetry I read was the clean but definitely not Christian Pam Ayres. If you haven’t heard of Pam Ayres, she’s a comedic English poet who rose to fame in the 1980s (or perhaps earlier). My grandfather, who normally favoured biographies and Winston Churchill, enjoyed her poetry.

The other poetry I read, when it crosses my Facebook feed, is Brian Bilston. They are short and to the point, but also not Christian.

Needles by Brian Bliston

(Is there a Christian equivalent of Brian Bilston that I should know about?)

What about you? Do you read Christian poetry? If so, do you have any recommendations?
