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. There is a sense in these pages that the tradition of lyric poetry that developed was nearly inevitable, given the inherent concerns of the genre. Featuring the work of poets over a three-thousand-year period, Before the Door of God places the devotional lyric in its cultural, historical, and aesthetic contexts. The volume traces the various influences on this tradition and identifies features that persist in devotional lyric poetry across centuries, cultures, and stylistic differences. To scholars, literary professionals, and general readers who find delight in fine poetry, this anthology offers much to contemplate and discuss. 606 $aDevotional poetry 606 $aReligious poetry 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aDevotional poetry. 615 0$aReligious poetry. 676 $a808.819382 702 $aHopler$b Jay$f1970- 702 $aJohnson$b Kimberly$f1971- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465226003321 996 $aBefore the door of God$92487602 997 $aUNINA
