“What interests me in poetry is the interplay of language, the page, and silence. Heaven falls out of words because possibility is in the page, another kind of heaven; I wonder if that’s the only heaven we are given to know in life.” -- Edward Dickinson (Ted) Blodgett
E.D. Blodgett’s final volume of #poems *Walking Into God*, is the culmination of the poet’s lifelong devotion to a #poetry and poetics of the sacred. His mastery of craft, including cadence and sustained musicality, is unsurpassed in #Canadian literature. Though this volume is divided into two parts (or sequences), these compressed poems present as a single long poem that explores the processes of walking, moving, changing, and evolving within a unified field.
This is the first volume in the Keyishian Poetry Series.
