Some Bodies in the Grief Bed is Rick Benjamin's latest attempt to
find the intersection of the human and the non-human in the context
of this earth's ecology. A poem about migrations butterflies and
others make might be followed by another appearing in the life of a
family; and this poet is always trying to face down the distinction
between them. At the same time, he is deeply interested in every
detail of either: giraffe's eating an Acacia's topmost leaves and
pods; the way the sound of percussive roofs in rain bring up
memories a boy might have thought he'd buried. These are offered as
equal parts of one book, planets orbiting around the same sun. As
the title suggests, Some Bodies in the Grief Bed evolves around
loss, but also those moments of ecstasy and joy that are attached
to them. As Martin suggests, such grief is also and always just
another opportunity to praise everything and everyone we've been
lucky enough to hold and have in this world without keeping. This
book reminds us both to hold each moment and to be more mindful of
what it's made (out) of- the organic, impermanent nature of our
"passing love" (Langston Hughes) on this planet.
This book gathers the European reception of John. D. Caputo's
proposal for a radical theology of our time. Philosophers and
theologians from within Europe respond to Caputo's attempt to
configure a less rigid, less dogmatic form of religion. These
scholars, in turn, receive responses by Caputo. This volume so aims
to strengthen the development of radical theology in Europe and
abroad.
