Powerful verse that brings biblical scenes to life for modern readers.

This collection blends dramatic, prophetic themes with Croly’s sweeping poetic voice, offering a fresh take on scenes from scripture and related poems. Some pieces are published for the first time, while others are drawn from earlier periodicals, all framed by thoughtful commentary on the place of poetry in religious writing.

This edition gathers poems that illuminate biblical narratives, prophets, and sacred history through vivid imagery, moral struggle, and mythic grandeur. The preface considers how older translations and later versions shaped the reading of Scripture, and the poems respond with a muscular, contemplative verse that aims to honor a spiritual legacy without losing human feeling.

Explore poems about Jerusalem’s last days, prophecy, and key biblical figures.
Read dramatic pieces on Tyre, Ezekiel, Malachi, Esther, Belshazzar, and more.
Encounter mythic reflections and modern meditations on faith, fate, and language.
See how Croly blends scripture with historical and literary allusions for a sweeping, interpretive experience.

Ideal for readers who enjoy mythic poetry, biblical drama, and literary criticism fused with verse, this collection invites both reverent reflection and bold imagination.
