Description
"Composed in the difficult years since [having written a now-famous essay about having faith in the face of death] and completed in the wake of a bone marrow transplant, [this book] is a ... meditation on what a viable contemporary faith--responsive not only to modern thought and science but also to religious tradition--might feel like"--Dust jacket flap.
Description
Seven years ago, Wiman, a well-known poet and the editor of Poetry magazine, wrote a now-famous essay about having faith in the face of death. Now he presents a moving meditation on what a viable contemporary faith--responsive not only to modern thought and science but also to religious tradition--might look like. How do we answer this "burn of being"? Wiman asks. What might it mean for our lives--and for our deaths--if we acknowledge the "insistent, persistent ghost" that some of us call God?
