Publisher's Description
This is a book of poems on Christian or Christian-compatible themes; they render my personal experiences with Christianity as honestly as possible, or have to do with ideas, historical matters, doctrines, etc.

“He respects his own senses, he respects history, but most of all he respects the things of his present experience. . . . It is for this kind of firm delicacy that I find Ray Oliver’s poetry like nobody else’s I have read.”
“Greeting the End of Time is an episodic account of a spiritual quest for faith and meaning. There are incidents from the author’s Protestant childhood and youth; and he records his growing need as he matures to orient himself within Christianity, and to grasp the two unfathomables, God, and death. This is a deeply serious book and the poems invite reading and rereading.”
“Greeting the End of Time offers a poetry of radiant avowal, a lifetime in the making. Oliver’s Christian faith resonates throughout. We see the supple joy it gives articulated in a wide-ranging collection that combines passionate belief with poetic discovery.”
