Learning about the ancient Jewish tradition of midrash, a rabbinic
form of textual interpretation that seeks and imagines answers to
unanswerable questions, felt to Amy Bornman like a poetic
invitation to re-engage with the Bible in a new way. There is a
Future: A Year of Daily Midrash - an award-winner in the Paraclete
Poetry Prize competition - grew from a yearlong project to read the
Bible daily, and write daily midrashic poems in response to the
readings-to honor the text by wondering about, and struggling with,
it. By engaging particular passages of scripture across the Old and
New Testaments directly, these poems imagine new dimensions of the
text, and make vivid connections to the world as it is now and to
the author's own life-emerging at year's end with new hope in a
future that at times feels impossible, as the days pile on days and
the text's enduring questions continue to ring.
