Items related to Exodus: Poems
The poems in Exodus are modern re-interpretations and psychological explorations of the people and events in the Bible. A central metaphor is the exodus from Egypt, which represents the journeys that people take: trying new experiences, leaving a bad relationship, finding a new job, taking risks. Many of the poems are dramatic monologues from the perspective of a character in the Scriptures.

From the Author:
I have been working on Exodus since the 1970s. The poems in Exodus reflect the changes that all of us experience as we go through life, mature, and grow. Every poem has the perspective of a different character in the Bible. I try to empathize with each individual and to convey his or her worldview. My book is part of a long tradition of writers who have updated Biblical narratives for each new century.
