Eyes to See Alberta Miriam Isaacson

Eyes to See is a personal. unvarnished but perceptive narrative in the form of verse interludes, which takes place through the life and times, thoughts and experiences, of a deeply Christian Woman. These are poems of every day, and also of the underlying realities on which the life of every day is built. Alberta Isaacson writes of simple, domestic things - a hunting trip, a young girl's sixteenth birthday - and draws lessons from these subjects. She also writes of graver matters, the breakdown of personal relationships, illness, depression, the loss of loved ones. In some of these poems she takes the reader through her own personal Dark Night of the Soul, although there are, too, some lighter, happier moments. Above all, Alberta brings us a message - of the pervading mercy and wisdom of the Almighty, even though we ourselves may be unable to perceive fully His grand design.
