Series Penguin poets.
Summary Carl Dennis has won acclaim for "wise, original, and often deeply moving poems that ease the reader out of accustomed modes of seeing and perceiving" (New York Times). Many of the poems in this, his eighth collection, involve an attempt to enter into dialogue with pagan and biblical perspectives, to throw light on ordinary experience through metaphor borrowed from religious myth and to translate religious myth into secular terms.
