‘In the holding’ has three connected sections, each considering how we can hold the gifts given to us, of love, communication and our mortal human life, with honesty and integrity – even when life is hard. The book follows a journey which becomes increasingly clearly a journey of faith – faith in the love that we all are.

THE AUTHOR

Jacci grew up around Accrington, Lancashire, before studying ‘human sciences’ at Oxford University. She overcame a brain tumour and skin cancer, co-founded a charity for disabled children in Vietnam (The Kianh Foundation), and began to focus increasingly on spiritual understanding at its simplest – that God is Love. ‘In the holding’ is her second poetry collection, created alongside a new non-fiction book ‘Talking God – Daring to Listen’ (Lion Hudson) about the importance of listening to others for us to find our own beliefs.

Jacci Bulman

In the holding

“The casual, colloquial voice of Jacci Bulman’s poetry is deceptively simple and easy to listen to. She has a compassionate eye that analyses human dilemmas and complex issues, setting them out on the page with a clarity of expression that disguises a mastery of rhythm and form.”
