Recovered Body
by Scott Cairns
The fourth collection of poems by Scott Cairns, this book employs disarming language as it revises and gives new life to a wide range of familiar stories. Here, we overhear some of Wallace Stevens late ruminations, witness as erotic frolicking between poet and muse, and receive an epistle on the subjects of love and the body from Mary Magdalen. The poet's richly cadenced style of storytelling offers theological poetry that leaves even the most cynical of readers nodding and grinning.
