Armor & Ornament, Paperback / softback Book

Armor & Ornament Paperback / softback

Part of the Alaska Literary series

Paperback / softback

Description

Armor & Ornament turns away from the popular trends of contemporary poetry, calling instead upon traditional and Biblical forms.

Rather than drawing on recent styles and modern trends, Miles looks to the texts that have inspired artists for millennia.

These are Christian poems that have a deep and unapologetic understanding of God's world, and they explore, with steady faith, all sides of this world. As a military veteran, Miles also centers his poetry amongst war.

Through tone and voice, warfare permeates these poems, providing poetry that relies less on the traditional, Christian tension of doubt and shaken faith than on the inherent tension of a broken world.

This resonant new collection melds deep-rooted spirituality with contemporary tensions, offering modern psalms for a tumultuous and uncertain age.
