The Ale Boy’s Feast – The White Strand of The Auralia Thread

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 9:19 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

“The Ale Boy’s Feast is a great, sprawling poem. Its rich language moves and breathes and awakens every sense. Jeffrey Overstreet has made something beautiful here. His story reminds us that beauty is an agent of grace.” —JONATHAN ROGERS, author of The Charlatan’s Boy “Jeffrey Overstreet writes like Van Gogh painted. He is a literary impressionist, and his understated yet vivid narrative style overwhelms the imagination. The Ale Boy’s Feast does more than just tell the end of a story;... Read more

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 9:21 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

A Couple of Notes on Richard Dawkins

Last updated on: October 2, 2012 at 9:21 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet

Today, I noticed Scott Derrickson posting this link on Twitter. It’s a link to an article by Marilynne Robinson, author of Gilead, contesting the claims of Richard Dawkins. So, of course, I had to drop everything and read it. Then, when I posted the link on Facebook, a friend answered with this quote from Camille Paglia on Richard Dawkins … (more…) Read more

Last updated on: June 23, 2014 at 2:05 pm By Jeffrey Overstreet
