Synopsis

A stunning new collection of inspirational poems from the critically-acclaimed author of Phases.


The poems in this volume feature impressionistic meditations on faith and everyday life. In concert with Rilke's Duino Elegies, the classic text on the force and work of angels, The Elegy Beta simmers with luminous, transcendent language, elegance, and, frequently, humor.

Don't miss the new poems readers are calling "terrifyingly good...literally. It's scary how high it suggests the bar can be set, of what can be achieved."

"Strangely irresistible--and irresistibly strange--The Elegy Beta has the mark of a jazz improvisation"
