Book excerpt: Before the Door of God traces the development of devotional poetry in the English-language tradition from its origins in ancient hymnody to its current twenty-first-century incarnations. The poems in this volume demonstrate not only that devotional poetry--poetry that speaks to the divine--remains in vigorous practice but also that the tradition reaches back to the very origins of poetry in English...To scholars, literary professionals, and general readers who find delight in fine poetry, this anthology offers much to contemplate and discuss.
