The Book, The Burial, by R. Penman Smith is available through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and directly from Tate Publishing. The Burial is a Spiritual Thriller with a dark twist and a redemptive outcome. The story springs out personal experience; ‘write what you know about’. Those who are comfortable with fantasy and are not afraid of the reality of the spiritual warfare inherent in Christian life will love this book.

Imagination is the faculty through which we discover the world around us, both the world we see, and that other unseen world that hovers on the fringe of sight. Love, joy and laughter, poetry and prose, are the gifts through which we approach that complex world. Through the gift of imagination we have stepped into an ever flowing river where the realm of Faerie touches Middle Earth.

Callow, Shallow
















I was young once and so very callow,
Shallow in all my threadbare loving,
And shallow in my hollow talking;
In all of my living callow, shallow.
Growing deeper takes a length of pain,
Water flowing roughly under bridges,
Over rocks and rills it chants its dirges.
Experience adds knowledge for my gain.
