"One of the best, and least expected, anthologies in decades."
-Joseph Bottum, Poetry editor, New York Sun Showcasing thirty-five
American poets born in or after 1940, this anthology confirms that
one of the most vibrant developments in contemporary verse has been
a renewed engagement with the Christian faith. Across a full
spectrum of Christian belief, including the struggle to believe at
all, these poets bring the power of their art to bear on serious
questions: how to understand the goodness of God in a fallen and
tragic world, how to reconcile universal truths with the
particularities of human experience, how to render familiar events
of salvation history in new language that generates its own
epiphanies. As Christian engagement assumes a multiplicity of modes
and voices, so does contemporary poetry in America. This volume,
then, selective yet representative, features the work of early-,
mid-, and late-career poets, formalists, free-verse poets, and
experimenters in prosody. This anthology bears witness to the
poetic mind as it seeks that which is above.
