Poets give us eyes to see the world in new ways - dramatically so when they come from different religious or cultural traditions. But a poet in one tradition will see the world very differently from a poet in another. Hopkins could look on the world charged with the grandeur of God; Chinese poets see the same world as an invitation to come within it, to find there the source of its being. Hallowed Ground is ground converted by poets into places of penitence and praise. John Bowker's book takes the reader on a compelling journey through many places, times and traditions - African, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Japanese, Jewish, Muslim and Taoist. The result is a work of rare breadth and excitement.
