Theology of the Broken - Catherine Faurot - Bog

Theology of the Broken invites the reader into a garden--a messy, sensual place of potential and despair--and into the Garden, where the myth of Adam and Eve is exploded and rewritten into a tale of separation and communion. The book opens with bulbs that have landed on the author's porch and expands into a hallucinatory chorus of flowers, interspersed with mythic poems upended from all ordinary perspective. In this garden the Fall is division: male from female, body from soul. The poems wander through a landscape alternately lush and desolate until Adam and Eve are united again, momentarily.
