Incarnadine: Poems | Mary Szybist
7 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
In Incarnadine, Mary Szybist restlessly seeks out places where meaning might take on new colour. Through the lens of an iconic moment, the Annunciation of an unsettling angel to a young woman, Szybist describes the confusion and even terror of moments in which our longing for the spiritual may also be a longing for what is fundamentally alien to us. In a world where we are so often asked to choose sides, to believe or not believe, to embrace or reject, Incarnadine offers lyrical and brilliantly inventive alternatives.

I didn't totally love this. It might just be me.

merelybookish @LazyDays Thanks for hosting! 6y
merelybookish @LectricSheep Cool! I love hearing poets read their own work although sometimes it is disappointing. 6y
merelybookish @batsy I haven't read much of her either but also love this! 🙂 6y
LectricSheep Definitely— some people are great writers but terrible readers, even of their own work. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y
merelybookish @LectricSheep Yes there is that "poetry reading voice" that is painful at times. 6y

Beautifully written with curious allusions between a speaker named Mary who is likely not a believer, and the theology of Mary, mother of Jesus. So many different forms keep this collection fresh and new.

A bit of verse with my coffee! Reading after some grading at the coffee shop. Soon I'll be at school meeting my students' grandparents! #teachersoflitsy

From the poem 'How (Not) to Speak of God' in 'Incarnadine" (a poetry collection) by Mary Szybist. I loved the visual effects in her poems and the creative use of existing writings for poetry purposes.
