- Summary
- Diagnosed with a rare form of cancer (now in remission), poet Christian Wiman sought to re-examine his faith, trying to identify and articulate what he believes. Filled with quotations from numerous other poets, playful use of language, and eloquent expressions of the meaning of Christ's incarnation, this memoir offers a profound, moving meditation on Wiman's relationship with God. - Description by Katherine Bradley Johnson
