Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Religion. PSALTER is a book of psalms for the agnostic who still looks for sacred order in the doubter's soul, in the heart's intelligence, in the voice of the PSALTER's own singer. The very molecules of our makeup force an order to her consciousness: Constellations alone are proof // that matter is on the loose, capable / of an inexplicable agreement.
Poetry is how we recognize immaterial dreams and wishes. A true poet must be part Sufi, part skeptic; both mathematician and map maker. In PSALTER: THE AGNOSTIC'S BOOK OF COMMON CURIOSITIES, Georgia Popoff's narrator is all of these and more. The poems in this rich new collection are unafraid of the soul.--stephen kuusisto
