SuGGeSTeD ORDeR
“ Rogers is a poet of exaltation, sweeping
readers up in a heady mix of rapturous
science and natural theology.” —Booklist
“ The poems of Pattiann Rogers have
startling breadth, often engaging scientific,
theological, and artistic modes of perception
simultaneously without ever losing a central
focus or a syntactical sense of direction.”
—The Georgia Review

Holy Heathen
Rhapsody
Pattiann Rogers
Pattiann Rogers has won acclaim as one of the most original
voices in contemporary American poetry. The poems in her
new collection, Holy Heathen Rhapsody, embrace and embody
the forces of the Earth and the creative power of its lifeforms in
all the wildness of their varieties. Love in these poems is a force
infused with the same creative power and intensity, the purest
manifestation of the will-to-be. This vision and its making contend
that even a shadow or a floating seed, a frond of green or a
midnight spider, even a mongrel dog, wind over water, the human
voice, the human witness, peace and weapons, all—every
aspect and feature encountered—are fully endowed players in
the dynamic music of the Earth.
