This collection of poems and essays by both poets and scholars
explores how John Donne's writing has entered into the language,
the imagination, and the navigation of erotic and spiritual desires
and experiences of twentieth- and twenty-first-century writers. The
chapters chart a winding path from a description of the Donne and
Contemporary Poetry Project at Fordham University to an encounter
with the Holy Sonnets to a set of modern holy sonnets and then
through the work of a poet who used Donne's Devotions on Emergent
Occasions to chart his own dying. There are further poems on
sickness and recovery, an essay on Donne and disease that brings in
the work of an Australian poet, and several chapters of poems with
various Donnean echoes. Of the final four chapters, one places
Donne in relation to another poet and one to the Psalms, followed
by two chapters on Donne's speech figures and his poetics.
