Wild belief : poets and prophets in the wilderness

Wild belief Poets and prophets in the wilderness

Nicholas Ripatrazone

Book - 2021

Wild Belief brings together a diverse and unique set of writers who span literary styles, genres, and time periods--but who are united in their search for spirit in the wild. Through them we discover the tension between our understanding of the wilderness as both a fearful and a sacred space, which makes it particularly apt for capturing the unknown and surprising elements of belief.
