Synopsis
This collection leaps into the dangerous currents where poetry and reli-gion meet, and enlivens the lexicon of traditional American Christian belief by testing its doctrines and language against contemporary experience.
"Beyond the wonderful music of his lines . . ., what makes To the Green Man such an important and memor-able book is its enactment of a spiritual struggle to be at once at home in the world and astonished by it."--Alan Shapiro
Mark Jarman is a professor of English at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. His book The Black Riviera won the Poets' Prize, and Questions for Ecclesiastes was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and won the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize.

Review
"Individually and collectively, the poems in Mark Jarman's beautiful book, "To the Green Man, recognize both the need for the consolations of faith and the elusiveness of faith in the face of the hard facts of experience: the loss of loved ones, depression, mortal fears, the sheer contingencies of daily life. Beyond the wonderful music of his lines, the formal poise, the mix of narrative and lyric modes, what makes "To the Green Man such an important and memorable book is its enactment of a spiritual struggle to be at once at home in the world and astonished by it."
--Alan Shapiro
