A new book of poetry from the celebrated poet and essayist, who has "wrestled eternity onto the page" ( The New York Times ). Few contemporary writers ask the questions about faith, morality, and God that Christian Wiman does, and even fewer--perhaps none --do so with his urgency and eloquence. In his seventh book of poetry, The Dance , Wiman is at the height of his powers. These searching, sharp, wide-ranging poems are a testament to the staying power of a poetic voice we will be reading for years to come.
