Christian Wiman braids poetry, memoir, and criticism to create an inspired, careerdefining work.Few contemporary writers ask the questions about faith, morality, and God that Christian Wiman does, and even fewerperhaps nonedo so with his urgency and eloquence. Wiman, an awardwinning poet and the author of My Bright Abyss, lays the motion of his mind on the page in this genredefying work, an indivisible blend of poetry, criticism, theology, and searing memoir. As Marilynne Robinson wrote, [Wimans] poetry and his scholarship have a purifying urgency that is rare in this world . . . [It] enables him to say new things in timeless language, so that the readers surprise and assent are one and the same.Zero at the Bone begins with Wimans preoccupation with despair, and through fifty brief pieces, he unravels its seductive appeal. The book is studded with the poetry and prose of writers who inhabit Wimans thoughts, and the voices of Wallace Stevens, Lucille Clifton, Emily Dickinson, and others join his own. At its heart and Wimans, however, are his familyhis young children (who ask their own invaluable questions, like Why are you a poet? I mean why?), his wife, and those he grew up with in West Texas. Wiman is the rare thinker who takes on the mantle of our greatest mystics and does so with an honest, profound, and contemporary sensibility. Zero at the Bone is a revelation.
