The Canaanite Woman

Arts & Literature

“The Canaanite Woman is like nothing else you’ve ever read. In a richly woven narrative of linked poems in varied voices, Bagocius conjures vivid characters whose lives are shaped by fierce love and loyalty in the face of pain and the oppression of disabled bodies. Traversing the ancient biblical world and our own, this book is an act of radical imagination, a theopoetics of mystery and liberation, a welcome gift that heals.”
