Publisher's Synopsis

This title traces the development of devotional English-language poetry from its origins in ancient hymnody to its current 21st-century incarnations. The poems in this volume demonstrate not only that devotional poetry - poetry that speaks to the divine - remains in vigorous practice, but also that the tradition reaches back to the very origins of poetry in English.
