520 |a "With Keep the Feast, Stephen Cushman offers readers a collection of remarkable clarity, skill, depth, and delight. The centerpiece title poem, based on the longest biblical psalm, is a rarity in the world of contemporary poetry: a serious devotional work. Yet Cushman approaches the challenges of establishing a personal relationship with God in ways so varied and ingenious that it thoroughly entertains and intrigues as poetry, and the religious feelings and beliefs of the reader do not matter. Several of the poems in the opening and closing sections meditate on biblical events, as Cushman's combination of skepticism and devotion balances the headlong embrace of the title poem. "Rough Draft" considers Jesus's need to take a second crack at curing a blind man in the Gospel of Mark, while "Want to Make Something of It?" turns Christ's blasting of the fig tree in the same gospel into a darkly comic, strikingly angry anticipation of his sacrifice. In the rest of this captivating volume, the poet meditates on secular history, works of art, and literary figures, every poem rendered in Cushman's unique vernacular and lush rhythms, offering readers a feast for the ear and the tongue"--  |c Provided by publisher.
