The Heretic’s New Book of Blasphemous Prayer

In his second volume of poetry, Edward Simon examines the radical poetry and prayers of a radical faith. In the metaphysics of this book God isn't always real, but that doesn't mean that we can't pray to him. In the new theology of a new religion, aesthetics becomes the guiding force in faith. As in his earlier book "Daring to Eat the Pear," Simon unflinchingly looks at the complexities of a belief that exist between fidelity and atheism. In "The Heretic's Book of Blasphemous Prayer" poems are offered up to the core of being, and iconoclastic religious beliefs are investigated from every possible direction.
