"The poems in this book are improvisations arising from
contemplative readings of four chapters of the 1611 edition of the
King James Bible—Matthew VI, Mark V, Luke XV and Luke X. Lectio
Violant—‘profane reading’—is the name I’ve coined to
describe this process, alluding to Lectio Divina—‘divine
reading’—the long-established Catholic practice of devotional
reading, the purpose of which is to draw the reader closer to God
by enabling a fuller experience of scripture. I’m not sure this
book’s doing the same thing, although you never know." —Steve
