Summary:

Cenotaph (defined by the dictionary as a sepulchral monument erected in memory of a deceased person whose body is buried elsewhere) is the third in a series of Eric Pankey's books (the earlier Apocrypha and The Late Romances are the earlier two). Pankey is a poet with strong religious leanings and this book shows it. As remote as the comparison may seem, it's clearly the 17th century metaphysical poets, like John Donne, who speak to him.
