Metaphorical God: Poems

By Kimberly Johnson

"Dazzling.... She writes with Milton open at her elbow but with the real dirt of a real Utah under her fingertips."-- The Yale Review No poet writing today confronts the perplexities of the divine with more pizzazz than Kimberly Johnson. In A Metaphorical God , Johnson showcases her gifts for mining language for its hidden gems and its gospel ("my tongue is a fovent choir, / a cloven fire"), using what she unearths to delve deep into mysteries both epistemological and holy.
