xA compelling, imagined dialogue with some of the most beloved Christian poets
Step into a captivating poetic conversation that spans centuries. The Role of the Moon explores the timeless themes of faith, loss, transcendence, human struggle, and renewal, echoing John Donne, George Herbert, and other 17th-century metaphysical poets. In vivid dialogue with John Milton, William Shakespeare, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Emily Dickinson, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and many others, D.S. Martin engages them in our modern world. A "new metaphysical" voice emerges, connecting the past to the present with wit, poignancy, and striking originality. Perfect for readers who enjoy poetry and literature as a spiritual pursuit, this collection invites you to explore the beauty and power of classic Christian poetry in a fresh and modern way.Author: D.
