The Gospel Within the Coat: A Five-Part Gospel

By Yumpy (Joseph Allman)

The Gospel Within the Coat is a mythic Gothic Gospel in verse that explores guilt, truth, and transformation through vivid imagery and a haunting narrative voice. The Coat begins as a dark presence born from silence and fear, but as the poems unfold, it becomes a witness, a guide, and a symbol of inner resurrection.

The book also features the voice of Edgar Allan Poe, invoked as a literary ancestor whose familiar darkness gradually softens. His presence becomes part of the story's evolution, merging with the wearer and the Coat in a symbolic trinity of humanity, truth, and lineage.

Through five connected poems and reflective commentary, The Gospel Within the Coat invites readers to confront their own quiet burdens and hidden truths.
