R.S. Thomas's presentation of God has given rise to controversy and
dissent. Exploring Thomas's techniques of creating his images of
God, Elaine Shepherd addresses the problems surrounding the
language of religion and of religious poetry. Refusing to limit
herself to conventionally religious poems, and drawing on material
from the earliest work to Counterpoint and beyond, she identifies
the challenges with which Thomas confronts his readers. The
sequence of close readings engages the reader in an exploration of
language and image: from the image of woman as constructed by the
Impressionist to the non-image of the mystical theologian.
