The Religious Mantle in Bloomington, MN

A poet's novel, without a doubt, The Religious Mantle enthralls us with its chiseled prose and its glimpses into the silent monologue of the poet-author. Life and poetry are equally scrutinized, the first as a void and the second as a spiritual journey. An undulating discourse whose composed rhythm and introspective quality remind us, now and then, of the mesmeric writing of Virginia Woolf's The Waves.
