Abstract
Volume 3 of A Useable Past begins with ‘ways of seeing’ the lives and times of religious and other organisations as instances of cultural creativity, and as rival clusters of social potential. Lately is a compelling work of modern and contemporary poetry, exploring the complexities of human experience through finely crafted language, vivid imagery, and a voice that is both questioning and compassionate.
