Exploring the interplay of memory and history, this collection intertwines two narratives: one reimagining the poet's grandmother during the making of a silent film in 1919 Cornwall, and the other tracing the evolution of film from ancient cave paintings to the advent of sound in cinema. It delves into themes of inclusion and exclusion, editing, and the patterns that shape storytelling. By examining the etymology of "camera" and "stanza," the work reflects on the spaces we inhabit and the choices that define our narratives.
The message of the Cross is central to the Christian faith. It is still relevant to us today. Finlayson explores the significance and the mystery of the cross focusing on 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 and Isaiah 53. The truth is applied in a most compelling manner, a manner which ensured that no reader can be left unmoved. Introduction by Carl R. Trueman.
