About this book
This cycle of poems travels the path of the Gospel of Mark, rereading and retelling the story, flashing back and anticipating, reading from unusual vantage points, flowing with the author's perspective and rowing against it. Crossing the genres of poetry and biblical interpretation, the poems themselves become a way to experience the Gospel of Mark.

Fall a shooting star
streaked naked light

in the night, visible,
back to dark.
Can I?
Dare with trembling ink
to spill to mark to soil
blank white wilderness
erase the possibility
for anything else to grow
there but that. But you.
Indelible.
Open my lips make me a mouth

There’s a mass confessing going on

How deep do we need
