This cycle of poems travels the path of the Gospel of Mark, rereading and retelling the story, flashing back and anticipating, reading from unusual vantage points, flowing with the author's perspective and rowing against it. Crossing the genres of poetry and biblical interpretation, the poems themselves become a way to experience the Gospel of Mark. "Terse, teasing, quixotic, discomfiting, needling away at mind and imagination, Cynthia Kittredge's poems mirror the qualities of Mark's Gospel. Reading them singly, or as a whole sequence, invites the reader into disconcerting perplexity and opaqueness, yet offers the prospect of cleansed seeing, surprising angles of vision, renewed and more risky faith." --Nicola Slee, author of Praying Like a Woman "Buy this book! You will keep these poems close at hand, returning to them again and again. Read the whole Gospel of Mark--aloud--without distraction of devices and duties. Do it again. Then read some of these poems--again undistracted by devices--and in some other quiet time read more, or the same ones, again. Kittredge will lead you into immersion in the Gospel, into probing, puzzling, questioning, fresh encounters, flashes of new insight. . . . Working through the Gospel with the provocation of these poems will be a continuing process: revealing and unveiling." --Richard Horsley, author of Hearing the Whole Story Cynthia Briggs Kittredge is Dean, President, and Professor of New Testament at Seminary of the Southwest. She is the author of Community and Authority and Conversations with Scripture: The Gospel of John. She is coeditor of the Fortress Commentary on the New Testament.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. For me, this book of poetry illustrates Paul Ricoeur's concept of the "second naïveté" By David William Peters Kittridge's poems are mysterious, dark, bright, enigmatic, and brilliant. In each poem I sense the author's playful faith, solidly grounded in serious scholarship. For me, this book of poetry illustrates Paul Ricoeur's concept of the "second naïveté," mature spiritual depth that comes after the stage of "critical distance." These poems can be digested again and again, as I have been doing since I bought the book. This work is another window in which I peer into Mark's world. The narrow focus on Mark makes this book a special treasure. I do hope this is the first of a series, one for each book of the Bible.
