Chasing the Shadow—the World and Its Times

Theology

“In Chasing the Shadow, Ephraim Radner serves up a rich poetic spread, which echoes in equal measure the Lamentations of Jeremiah, the villanelles of Joyce, and the wit of Eliot. From his very first poem, ‘Acrostic Time’—which runs not only from A to Z, but also from Alpha to Omega—Radner invites the reader to imagine a life entirely figured by scripture, reminding us that theology is, in the first instance, a matter of prayer without ceasing.”
