The book seeks to come to terms with an often obscured spiritual impulse that drives the production and imagination of American poetry. O'Leary presents close and comprehensive readings of the modernist, late-modernist, and postmodern poets Robinson Jeffers, Frank Samperi, and Robert Duncan, as well as the contemporary poets Joseph Donahue, Geoffrey Hill, Fanny Howe, Nathaniel Mackey, Pam Rehm, and Lissa Wolsak. He argues that an anxiety of misunderstanding exists in the study and writing of poetry between secular and religious impulses and that the religious nature of poets' works is too often marginalized. Examining the works of a specific poet in each chapter, O'Leary reveals their complexity and offers a defense of the value and meaning of religious poetry against the grain of a secular society. 588 0 Print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Religious poetry, American|xHistory and criticism.|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010110709 650 0 American poetry|y20th century|xHistory and criticism. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101081 650 0 Religion in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112593 650 0 Religion and literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112573 650 7 Religious poetry, American.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1094210 650 7 American poetry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 807348 650 7 Religion in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1732559 650 7 Religion and literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1093839 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aO'Leary, Peter, 1968-|tThick and dazzling darkness.|dNew York : Columbia University Press, 2017|z9780231173308|w(DLC) 2017007545 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1628850|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
