A review by margaret_j_c
God's Silence by Franz Wright

A phenomenal book of poems. The description calls it 'luminous' and that is just about the right word for this collection. Rarely in poetry do I find unwavering faith alongside doubt, tragedy, and depression (for good reason) but Wright's trust in God and longing for the life beyond this one make up the heart of these poems. Very moving and exquisitely well-written (seriously, cannot overstate how amazing his writing is). Will be on the lookout for more of his work.
