Religious Poetry

Pastor Brian Matterson leads a community of the faithful at All Saints Lutheran Church in Martin Valley, a suburb of Minneapolis. Brian, a recovering alcoholic with a dogged sense of duty, is trying to handle various everyday challenges with good humor when tragedy strikes: A member of his congregation, Candy Vinter, has hanged herself in her family home. She’d been dealing with breast cancer and the effects of chemotherapy, but even so, the chance that she might commit suicide had never crossed Brian’s mind. When he visits the family, he senses something secret underneath the surface of their grief.

Booker continues the story he began in his earlier The First Book of David, retelling the life of one of the Bible's most famous and storied figures, King David, who began his life as a humble shepherd boy, shot to fame as the slayer of the Philistine giant Goliath, and eventually entered the court of savage-tempered King Saul. The Second Book of David takes up the story of David at the height of his kingly power, and in a winning formula Booker uses here again, that story is told not from an omniscient viewpoint or from David's own but rather from viewpoints of the people in David's life - the famous Bathsheba, the Prophet Nathan, King Saul's concubine Rizpah and others.

Débris du sillage: Libre mais inquiète, la poésie de Gilles Latour révèle une appréhension devant la dégradation de l'environnement physique, social et politique. À la merci de l'étoile: Au coeur de l'explosion cosmique qui constitue « l'univers connu », notre existence paraît d'autant plus insignifiante que l'étoile à la merci de laquelle nous existons dépend elle-même de forces qui échappent à notre entendement. Pourtant, nous continuons de nous agiter dans l'illusion de notre propre importance, comme si nous étions le cœur même de l'univers, son Étoile.

Fatherhood is supposed to be a remarkable experience for a man. Like any relationship, the one between a father and his son can be complex. Add the mistakes, blend the emotions, shake up the past, and the present gets really tense. Just ask Mr. Peterson, Mr. Woods, and Mr. Finley. The richest men are always seen as the ones with the most money in the bank. The truth is that fathers are the planters of many seeds. When the dirt of the earth buries them all, it will take the love of a forgiving man to help them grow.

Manas ka hans is a brilliant attempt to bring forth the life of Goswami Tulsidas. The novel is an attempt to address the complications of religion through Tulsidas while portraying him as a person who was afflicted with all the virtues and vices known to human beings. How Tulsidas finds Shri Ram is a question that the author answers in a fashion that can only be termed brilliant, for lack of better word. The best thing about the work is that it doesn't attempt to glorify any God or deity but simply tries to go into the mind of the devotee - Tulsidas, in this case.

Felon tells the story of one man in fierce, dazzling poems - canvassing his wide range of emotions and experiences through homelessness, underemployment, love, drug abuse, domestic violence, fatherhood, and grace - and, in doing so, creates a travelogue for an imagined life. Reginald Dwayne Betts confronts the funk of post-incarceration existence and examines prison not as a static space, but as a force that enacts pressure throughout a person’s life. Challenging the complexities of language, Betts animates what it means to be a “felon”.

Mette Harrison’s Book of Laman is not funny. It doesn’t use intentional archaisms to make fun of the Book of Mormon’s language; rather, it tells its story in a non-distracting modern style. The characters are not simply reversed. Nephi is sometimes an annoying brat, but he is also a real prophet who sees and speaks for the Lord. Laman is neither a comic book villain nor a long-suffering ironist. He is a flawed human being struggling to live well and usually coming up short. And in some of the book’s very best scenes, he is touched unexpectedly by grace and God.
