'A profoundly valuable collection, full of fresh perspective, and
opening doors into all kinds of material that has been routinely
neglected or patronized' Rowan Williams, TLS This rich and
surprising anthology is a holistic, global survey of a lyric
conversation about the divine, one which has been ongoing for
millennia. Beginning with the earliest attributable author in all
of human literature, the twenty-third century BCE Sumerian High
Priestess Enheduanna, and taking in a constellation of voices -
from King David to Lao Tzu, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the
Malian Epic of Sundiata - this selection presents a number of
canonical figures like Blake, Dickinson and Tagore, alongside
lesser-anthologized, diverse poets going up to the present day.
Together they show the breathtaking multiplicity of ways humanity
has responded to the spiritual, across place and time.
