Description
Christian Wiman's Zero at the Bone is a genre-defying work that blends poetry, criticism, theology, and searing memoir to create an urgent and eloquent exploration of faith, morality, and God. Through fifty brief pieces, Wiman unravels the seductive appeal of despair, drawing on the voices of writers who inhabit his thoughts, including Wallace Stevens, Lucille Clifton, Emily Dickinson, and others. The book is a deeply personal work, rooted in Wiman's family life and his own experiences as a poet and thinker. His young children ask invaluable questions that prompt him to reflect on his craft and his place in the world. With an honest, profound, and contemporary sensibility, Wiman takes on the mantle of our greatest mystics, offering a revelation about the human condition. Wiman's writing has a purifying urgency that is rare in this world, enabling him to say new things in timeless language. This book is a testament to his unique voice and vision, making it an essential read for anyone interested in poetry, philosophy, or spirituality.
