At a time of great loss and isolation in his life, the British artist Stanley Spencer found himself drawn to portray Jesus during his forty days in the wilderness.
In Being a Creature poet Helen Parsons sensitively engages with Spencer's vision of Christ alone in nature, confronting the beauty and complexity of our creaturely human life.
