Jacob Boehme’s Songs of Enlightenment

Arts & Literature

“Like Gary Snyder’s dialogues with the Eastern spiritual master Dôgen, Johnathan Cloud’s poetry engages the theology and mysticism of the Lutheran Jacob Boehme. Among the rare contemporary Protestant authors recognizing the power of verse to support meditative practice, Cloud weaves natural portraits with biblical concepts and Boehme’s language into gentle and thoughtful explorations of the Christian life.”
