Book Description:
|
Poet Katie Ford's debut collection, Deposition, confronts God in a language as shifting and ecstatic as divine encounter
This comes out of folklore.
Invented because tenderness at times
must be written in. There was a woman.
There was a cross. But in fact
they have hung him too high
to be touched.--from "A Woman Wipes the Face of Jesus"
