“In Theology of Four-Letter Words & Other Well-Intentioned Heresies, Julie Ann Cook uses poems to interrogate the idea of what God can or should be. Instead of a singular view, Cook envisions a world where God is found in all things such as bees, heat and time. “God is Bone: usually sturdy/sometimes frail/rarely seen”. These poems are written with care and intentionality, while also challenging the ideal of what we think is righteous or Godly. This is a beautiful book written like a new gospel. “ — Angelo Geter, Poet Laureate of Rock Hill, SC
