Download or read book How God Ends Us written by DéLana R. A. Dameron and published by Univ of South Carolina Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author searches for answers to spiritual quandaries in this collection of poems. Her poems form a lyrical conversation with an ominous and omnipotent deity, one who controls all matters of the living earth, including death and destruction. Her acknowledgement of the breadth of this power under divine jurisdiction moves her by turns to anger, grief, celebration, and even joy. From personal to collective to imagined histories, these poems explore essential, perennial questions emblemized by natural disasters, family struggles, racism, and the experiences of travel abroad.
