When Jesus offers his body as a promise to his disciples, he
initiates a liturgical framework that is driven by irony and
betrayal. Through these deconstructive elements, however, the
promise invites the disciples into an intimate space where they
anticipate the fulfilment of what is to come. The Last Supper,
symbol of unfinished life and sacrifice, becomes the common thread
between John Donne and Emily Dickinson, whose poetics acquire
liturgical - and therefore eschatological - features, and body and
text become the same. By tracing the displacing and yet
co-ordinating theme of the body as a textual presence, Liturgical
Liaisons opens into new readings of Donne and Dickinson in a way
that enriches how these figures are understood as poets. The result
is a risky and rewarding understanding of how these two gurus
challenged accepted theological norms of their day.
