A narrative poem and radical retelling of the crucifixion of Jesus.
"The scene and time are from dawn to dawn on the day of the Crucifixion. Th significance of that day to Christ, to John, to Peter, and to the two Marys, is interpreted in majestic language, with extraordinary insight. The word 'spiritual' is often carelessly used, but, in the greatest sense, this long epic poem is in every line instinct with the spirit. It speaks with the 'Pentecostal Tongue.'"
