Message: Job by Eugene H Peterson
Intentional mistranslations that set a meandering path through the maze of language.
Drawing on the patterns of words, speech, and identity we encounter in the wider world--subway ads in Mexico City, a Dutch-Japanese phrase book, multi-lingual airplane safety instructions, one of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities--the poems in Hugh Thomas's Maze playfully translate the maze of languages and language into moments of amazement.
A clever, complex debut, Maze will draw you into its labyrinthine, snakelike halls.--Winnipeg Free Press

He is Professor Emeritus of Spiritual Theology at Regent College in Vancouver British Columbia.

It took Peterson ten years to complete. He worked not from any English text but from the original Hebrew and Greek texts to guarantee authenticity. At the same time his ear was always tuned to the cadence and energy of the English spoken every day on the streets. He lives with his wife Jan in Montana.
