491_9781848617544
The poems in this book are improvisations arising from contemplative readings of four chapters of the 1611 edition of the King James Bible-Matthew VI, Mark V, Luke XV and Luke X. Lectio Violant-profane reading-is the name Ive coined to describe this process, alluding to Lectio Divina-divine reading-the long-established Catholic practice of devotional reading, the purpose of which is to draw the reader closer to God by enabling a fuller experience of scripture. Im not sure this books doing the same thing, although you never know. -Steve ElySteve Ely is one of the most exhilarating poets currently working in the UK.-Katy Evans Bush, Poetry International Elys poetry is passionately political, positively partisan ... a major talent.-Keith Richmond, Tribune Steve Ely has one of the strongest lines around, compounding scriptural weight and northern realism. He has also reclaimed history as poetrys subject.-Peter Riley, Fortnightly Review
