Idiot Psalms: New Poems

A new collection from one of our favorite poets. Fourteen €œIdiot Psalms,€ surrounded by dozens of other poems, make this his most challenging collection yet.

€œIdiot Psalm 1€

O God Belov©d if obliquely so, dimly apprehended in the midst of this, the fraught obscuring fog of my insufficiently capacious ken, Ostensible Lover of our kind€"while apparently aloof€"allow that I might glimpse once more Your shadow in the land, avail for me, a second time, the sense of dire Presence in the pulsing hollow near the heart. Once more, O Lord, from Your Enormity incline your Face to shine upon Your servant, shy of immolation, if You will.
