Description
Examining the profound influence of biblical themes on contemporary poetry written in English, this book explores the work of Brooks Haxton, Suji Kwock Kim, Kevin Hart, and Li-Young Lee.
Going beyond a mere examination of literary works, Faith in Verse considers how the presence of biblical references shapes and transforms contemporary Anglo-American poetry in unique and compelling ways. It argues that these poets' engagement with the biblical text transcends spirituality and cultural identity to constitute a form of theology deeply rooted in specific denominational concerns.
The book situates the poets in relation to Romantic and Modernist antecedents, addressing the cyclical, political, and poetic dimensions of their work.
