In the fulfillment of God’s promise to humankind, archetypal fears are assuaged; legends and fables are realized and take on specific form: “Painters’ perceptions, visionaries’ long/ Torments and silence, blossom here and speak.” Jennings does not analyze the mystery of the Nativity; she mediates on the human significance of the divine pattern…

Creation myths can tell us a lot about the way humans picture their place in their place in the universe. In each story, humans associate themselves with a defined set of characteristics –sometimes positive ones, sometimes negative ones.
