Phases (Poiema Poetry)

In his critically-acclaimed debut volume, author Mischa Willett proves that vibrant religious poetry isn't dead. Christian art is often overly sweet or overly simple: too satisfied with easy answers. Phases is an antidote to poetry that is distant, abstract, or cute. It offers a Christian vision of the arts that is at once intellectual and visceral, strong and central. These poems make readers believe again. From the widely published essayist, translator, and academic, this book soars with imagination, taking its place among the most essential--and memorable--voices in our current literature. Relief Journal says: "Phases proves...that poetry can be clever without being condescending, full without being congested, mysterious without being murky, fun (and funny) without being flippant, vulnerable without being self-indulgent, and touching without being sentimental." Scott Cairns says of author Mischa Willett: "He employs surprising linguistic brilliance to compose oratoria that brighten the heart of his reader, even as they transpose the familiar, offering echoes of a prior song lovingly adapted to a new, an exhilarating voice."

History & Criticism

Cascade Books

The poems in Phases are as interested in the creeping penumbral edge of language as they are in the shadowy fact of faith. Playful experiments with form swing to the conceptual ring's apegee, while a colloquy across history and place center the proverbial orbit.

The Elegy Beta: And Other Poems

The poems in this volume feature impressionistic meditations on faith and everyday life. In concert with Rilke's Duino Elegies, the classic text on the force and work of angels, The Elegy Beta simmers with luminous, transcendent language, elegance, and, frequently, humor.
