About Phases

In his critically-acclaimed debut volume, author Mischa Willett proves that vibrant religious poetry isn't dead.Christian art is often overly sweet or overly simple: too satisfied with easy answers. Phases is an antidote to poetry that is distant, abstract, or cute. It offers a Christian vision of the arts that is at once intellectual and visceral, strong and central. These poems make readers believe again.From the widely published essayist, translator, and academic, this book soars with imagination, taking its place among the most essential--and memorable--voices in our current literature. Relief Journal says: "Phases proves...that poetry can be clever without being condescending, full without being congested, mysterious without being murky, fun (and funny) without being flippant, vulnerable without being self-indulgent, and touching without being sentimental." Scott Cairns says of author Mischa Willett:  "He employs surprising linguistic brilliance to compose oratoria that brighten the heart of his reader, even as they transpose the familiar, offering echoes of a prior song lovingly adapted to a new, an exhilarating voice."Amazon Categories:*Poetry*Love Poems*Inspirational and Religious Poetry*Christian Poetry*American Poetry*Religion and Spirituality*Christian Inspiration
