About the Book

Volcanic soil, basalt, ocean depths, and migrating birds--all the rich, teeming life of creation mingles together in these poems to explore the stuff from which God made us and the myriad influences that shape who we become. In This Teeming Mess of Glory, Pullar probes how identity is shaped by our origins, our families, and the competing forces at work in our minds and hearts. Fathers, mothers, grandparents, children, ancestors, and dormant volcanos come together in this collection to ask what it means to live and grow as God's creatures in the messy glory of this life.

About the Author :
Matthew Pullar writes and teaches in Melbourne, Australia, where he lives with his wife and their three children. His unpublished manuscript, Imperceptible Arms, won him the 2013 Young Australian Christian Writer of the Year award. He is the author of three poetry collections, The Swelling Year (2019), Les Feuilles Mortes (2020), and Anno Domini (2020), and his work has been featured in many publications including Reformed Journal, Ekstasis, Fare Forward, and Amethyst Review.

Review :
"'Behold. Be held, the spirit whispers.' With aching transparency Matthew Pullar's poems traverse marvel and anguish, inner chaos and the depths of mercy. Grappling with the complexities of faith, memories, home, and colonization, he invites the reader in--where do we settle, and at what cost? 'Life miscarries. Lives / carry on.'" --Laurie Klein, author of House of 49 Doors: Entries in a Life "Matthew Pullar's remarkably vulnerable poetry reckons with life's great messes--sin, despair, human fragility. Ranging from baffled to downtrodden to devout, these poems bear witness to a world somehow shot through with glory. Pullar gives no trite comfort or easy answers to questions he raises. Rather, he offers beauty and fellowship 'When the words that we mouth are barely words / And the hope that we clutch at is scarcely hope.' That is the poetry of true faith." --Whitney Rio-Ross, author of Birthmarks "While reading Matthew Pullar's poetry, one is struck by its simplicity and directness, prized qualities in any form of communication. His poems are mostly confessional and devotional in nature and are without pretension or pride. It is refreshing, in an age when the political and the perverse seem to predominate in the arts, to read poems exploring the fundamentals of human existence--family, faith, failure, and grace." --Andrew Lansdown, poet
