Ruth Ellen Kocher's poems envision this body as a union of god and soul that, within our material world, encompasses love and hate, joy and despair. The body is a site of divine presence made mortal, electrified with the resonance of both the infinite and the human. In \u003ci\u003egodhouse\u003c\/i\u003e, we encounter the body as a site where the universe is made personal and celebratory, where the celestial endure the complications of flesh and friction forms between the glorious and the monstrous aspects of personhood. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Omnidawn Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781632431165\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 149","brand":"Ruth Ellen Kocher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43075523084469,"sku":"9781632431165","price":19.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5279a445-dfdf-450f-817c-53fe10c02275.jpg?v=1691467974","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/godhouse-9781632431165","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
