Following up on the memorable sequence of \"Unholy Sonnets \" Questions for Ecclesiastes  creates an entire book that inverts John Donnes asking of God  \"Are You there  and do You hear?\" Unholy Sonnets continues the work Jarman began in Questions for Ecclesiastes. This new series of poems strives to create devotional poetry written against the grain  without assumptions about faith or shared belief. That is why these sonnets are called \"unholy.\" They aim to avoid piety  while also testing the limits and conventions of the sonnet form. Taking off from the series of sonnets in Questions for Ecclesiastes  Unholy Sonnets explores more fully the relationship between what the soul desires and what creation allows. These new poems investigate the nature of prayer  incarnation  judgement  and grace  while trying to imagine a God large enough to hold the universe and personal enough to care about individual yearning and gratitude  suffering  and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948828061749,"sku":"ByrdShop_1885266871","price":84.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781885266873.jpg?v=1770556739","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/unholy-sonnets","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
