Divine Inspiration: The Life of Jesus in World Poetry Hardcover - 1997
by Robert Atwan (Editor); George Dardess (Editor); Peggy Rosenthal (Editor)
An extraordinary gathering of 280 poems from world literature which focus on the most significant events in the life of Jesus, "Divine Inspiration" offers a rich diversity of works by Thomas Aquinas, Dante Alighieri, John Donne, Maya Angelou, Margaret Atwood, Jack Kerouac, and others.
From the rear cover
In a volume of astonishing range and originality, Robert Atwan, George Dardess, and Peggy Rosenthal present 280 poems from world literature focusing on Jesus's life and teaching. Readers accustomed to the predictable inclusions of many anthologies will be surprised and delighted by the diversity of poets represented here, from Aquinas, Dante, de Guevara, Donne, and Sor Juana, to D.H. Lawrence, Gabriela Mistral, Wole Soyinka, Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Czeslaw Milosz, and Leopold Senghor. Perhaps no other thematically organized anthology could have brought together writers as different as Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Merton, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Jack Kerouac. Indeed, simply to turn the page in Divine Inspiration is an adventure in itself. And in terms of form, style, modulations of tone and perspective, the variety here is as unparalleled as it is unpredictable.
