“It’s possible that what David Craig has fashioned here is a new Book of Common Prayer. Within the universe of devotions, Craig is able to bring about observations and observances that shine with wit and existential piety which succeeds in erasing the distance between perceiving subject and perceived objects, between the quasi-fictive speaker and the chair he sits in. The fluidity of subject, predicate, object in the lived understanding of universal Oneness in the being of God becomes, as in Wallace Stevens, ‘the motive for metaphor,’ and the reader can dissolve in the poems’ momentary transformations.”
