Book of Baruch by Gnostic Justin C

Beschreibung

At his death in 2016, Geoffrey Hill left behind The Book of Baruch by the Gnostic Justin, a sequence of more than 270 poems, to be published posthumously as his final statement. It is a great work, and in Hill's oeuvre it is a uniquely welcoming work, open to all comers.
