Description
In this acclaimed debut poetry collection, Marie Howe explores the precarious borderlands between danger and grace, drawing on biblical figures, myth, and the uncertainties of ordinary life. Through intimate lyric narratives, voices such as Eve, Mary, Martha, Mary Magdalene, and the Good Thief become vessels for questions of guilt, desire, faith, mortality, and redemption. Howe’s language is both plainspoken and metaphysical, transforming personal and spiritual experience into a profound meditation on what it means to live—and to find rescuing power in moments of deepest vulnerability.
