Official synopsis Publisher
A new collection from a poet of “wily verve” whose work is “filled with more satire and jeopardy than anything going today” (Terrance Hayes)
Mark Yakich’s fifth collection of poetry is a dynamic and discerning journey of devotion and temptation in pursuit of the divine. Not trifling in ambiguity but diving headlong into it, Spiritual Exercises wrestles with popular gods as much as with personal ghosts. From autism to eroticism, from benediction to excommunication, and from grief to gratitude, this collection lays bare a full spectrum of emotional life, showing us how grace can be as playful as it is sincere.
