Evensong for Shadows

By Shanna Powlus Wheeler

Book Overview

In Evensong for Shadows, deferred hope becomes fulfilled hope. Like the Psalmist, the poet's expressions of praise alternate with those of suffering. This book sways with a musicality of theme, form, and language, while refrains about miscarriage and motherhood resound throughout. Here readers find hymns of witness to wonders and griefs--songs of the infinite and the infinitesimal. Rooted in Pennsylvania and immersed in the Christian and liberal arts traditions, Wheeler presents a collection with depth, breadth, and a music that endures.
