Though known primarily as a scholar, teacher, and historian of international repute, Jan Willem Schulte Nordholt in this lucid and intensely devotional volume shows himself to be a poet and photographer of rare spiritual insight.
Comprising forty-seven poems and fourteen black-and-white photographs by the author - Netherlands landscapes, edifices, and artwork that capture the subjects of the poems - So Much Sky reflects elegantly on a wide variety of subjects - existence, love, death, and doubt - while returning repeatedly to the overarching theme of faith in God. The fluid beauty of Schulte Nordholt's Dutch verse has faithfully been translated into English by Henrietta Ten Harmsel, a fellow poet who has received the prestigious Martinus Nijhoff Award for translation.
