Ronald Ferris. A Wing and a Prayer (1990)
Ronald Ferris. A Wing and a Prayer (1990) A collection of verses by Bishop Ferris, written while he was in the Yukon. They range from the nice to the mildly arresting. Ferris has a knack for versifying, but tends to use too many adjectives. None of the verses offends against good taste, and none contains memorable imagery. For those who know Ferris, this pamphlet amounts to a memento of the man. * (2004)
