- Summary:
- "In The Opening Ritual, G.C. Waldrep concludes a trilogy of collections exploring chronic illness-the failure of the body, the irreducible body-in the light of faith. What can or should "healing" mean, when it can't ever mean "wholeness" again? And what kind of architecture is "mercy," when we live inside damage? These are poems that take both the material and the spiritual seriously, that cast their unsparing glances towards "All that is not / & could never be a parable.""-- Provided by publisher.
