This book of essays on poetic speech, viewed in a
literary-critical, theological and philosophical light, explores
the connections and disconnections between vulnerable human words,
so often burdened with doubt and pain, and the ultimate kenosis of
the divine Word on the Cross. An introductory discussion of
language and prayer is followed by reflections linking poetry with
religious experience and theology, especially apophatic, and
questioning the ability of language to reach out beyond itself. The
central section foregrounds the motif of the suffering flesh, while
the final section, including essays on seventeenth-century English
metaphysical poetry and several of the great poets of the twentieth
century, is devoted to the sounds and rhythms which give a poem its
own kind of "body".
