Gathering a group of poems that explore some of the most transformative events of the last century, this collection draws on a wide range of poetic techniques and Biblical allusions to create a psalm-book for the modern world. From World War II and Albert Einstein to the space race and recent discoveries by the Hubble telescope, Kendall casts a wide net on the shared experiences of the past century, linking each with the more personal experiences of parenthood, childhood, and religion.
