Beschreibung:
Poet and photographer Edward Lense was professor of English at The Columbus College of Art and Design from 1976 to 2007 and served as advisor to the student literary and visual arts magazine Botticelli (1976-2000). A three-time Ohio Arts Council Award winner in poetry and criticism, he wrote novels, short stories, reviews, a libretto, meditations, and homilies and translated poetry from Anglo-Saxon. He also taught English as a second language to Somali refugees.
Deeply interested in theology but never satisfied with the commonplaces of faith, Edward Lense wrote liturgical poems that delve into the meaning of belief. Both free verse and formalist, they employ biblical imagery such as transformative fire, living water, spiritual cleansing, and certainty of salvation to reveal their importance for modern times. Following the tradition of Milton, Donne, George Herbert, and T. S. Eliot, the poet tells of no easy principle of acceptance but the epiphany of revelation after searching.
