how to recognize god's chosen

Beschreibung

how to recognize god's chosen is a collection of poetic fragments that make up a long poem loosely structured like a gospel account. The principal character of the lyrical narrative is referred to with the non-gendered pronouns zhe/hir, or at times as god's chosen or at others as the beloved. Pulling from a variety of religious and sacred texts--the Prophets, the Gospels, the Desert Fathers, Medieval mystics, the Upanishads, Sufi poets, and others--and the scholarly, textual debates surrounding manuscript culture, how to recognize god's chosen imagines a search for the divine set our contemporary moment of refugee crises, climate catastrophe, political populism, and the various forms of violence that make up life in the 21st century.
