The Word Made Flesh

By April Bulmer

In The Word Made Flesh, acclaimed Canadian poet April Bulmer offers a deeply evocative and imaginative collection that reinterprets the stories of the New Testament through the voices of women often silenced or overlooked in traditional scripture. These powerful poems present a contemporary retelling of the gospel narratives, skillfully weaving together themes of spirituality, womanhood, healing, and redemption. Bulmer's lyrical verse and vivid imagery breathe new life into figures such as Mary Magdalene, Martha, and the women who bore witness to Christ's miracles, crucifixion, and resurrection.

At the heart of The Word Made Flesh lies a profound reverence for the divine feminine and the marginalized, offering fresh perspectives on faith, humanity, and the sacred role women play in spiritual history. The collection delves into the intimate relationship between body and spirit, grounding ancient metaphors in modern contexts, and illuminating the timeless relevance of these sacred stories. Through Bulmer's poetic lens, familiar gospel figures are transformed into voices of strength, vulnerability, and divine wisdom.

Ideal for readers drawn to poetry, feminist retellings, and spiritual exploration, The Word Made Flesh invites deep contemplation and provides new insights into the enduring narratives of the Bible, offering a refreshing, resonant vision of the Gospels for today's world.
