"My Words Were Now Written."

Commission for book cover. A collection of poetry from Pete Cox taken from his year as 'Poet in Residence' at St. Johns the Baptist Church in Peterborough.

The title is taken from the book of Job 19:23
"Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!"

The source image is of the Antelope, Gazelle or Deer which 
stands atop the south entrance to the church.
