Heaven in Ordinary is like a love affair with poetry that engages
with religious questions, for good or ill, concerned with five
poets who are haunted by God. Poets, in times of great faith and
times of doubt, have expressed for us their sense of both the
presence and the absence of God in language that is sometimes
almost sacramental in its weight of beauty, love, fear, anger or
despair. The poets considered here all relate, in some way, to the
traditions of Anglicanism through the centuries, reflecting both a
common humanity and a wide breadth of human experience as it
struggles with God. Heaven in Ordinary is deliberately
autobiographical in approach, as it is grounded in David Jasper's
own lifetime experience of reading poetry since his school years,
and over four decades as a priest. The poets he so beautifully
discusses have related both positively and negatively to the
Christian faith and the Anglican tradition. Some are deeply
religious, others are haunted by God and the divine mystery.
