Fool's Gold

In this new collection of poems, Allen explores the borders between the human and the divine, the intersections where a redeemed but finite humanity experiences the astonishing reality of the infinite God. With precise, melodic language, careful attention to form, and (often) a refreshing sense of humor, Allen refines our spiritual sensibilities, enlarging our capacity to perceive and inhabit both our own world and the wondrous region of God's presence.
