God's Loud Hand

Poems

by Kelly Cherry ...

If religious poetry may be thought of as a great river fed, in the English language, by two main streams—the devotional tradition, leading in recent times to Anne Sexton and John Berryman, and the contrastingly philosophical tradition, exemplified by William Blake—it is to the latter that this new book by Kelly Cherry belongs.In the poems of God’s Loud Hand, Cherry conducts—often not at all ...
