Eat the Dirt: 52 Poems on God and Being Human

Description

With visceral honesty and startling intimacy, Heather Hamilton explores the simultaneous revulsion and reverence we feel toward our earthbound existence, the way God tastes both bitter as dirt and sweet as honey on our tongues. These poems are for anyone who has ever felt simultaneously too human and not human enough. Eat the Dirt reminds us that sometimes the most sacred act is simply learning how to swallow what we cannot understand.
