Description:
In Rewriting the Word "God", Romana Huk explores how avant-garde poets have radically reimagined divinity, human identity, and the real--without abandoning their faith traditions. Blending theology, philosophy, and poetic innovation, this expansive study traces how figures like Gerard Manley Hopkins and Fanny Howe challenge religious orthodoxy and literary convention to illuminate new paths toward spiritual and social understanding. Huk's work is a bold intellectual journey through the intersections of belief, art, and justice.
Review Quotes:
"This is a book bursting with critical intelligence and exhilarating ambition. Romana Huk explores several difficult frontiers at once--between Christian and Jewish imagination, between reflection on our wordless absorption in what cannot be contained and the necessity for close reading of texts and narratives, and between transcendence and secularity--and the result is an intellectual and spiritual feast of insight."--Rowan Williams, author of The Edge of Words: God and the Habits of Language"
