Description
A new book of poetry from the celebrated poet and essayist, who has "wrestled eternity onto the page" (The New York Times).
Few contemporary writers ask the questions about faith, morality, and God that Christian Wiman does, and even fewer-perhaps none -do so with his urgency and eloquence. In his seventh book of poetry, The Dance, Wiman is at the height of his powers. These searching, sharp, wide-ranging poems are a testament to the staying power of a poetic voice we will be reading for years to come.
