Deposition: Poems

Poet Katie Ford's debut collection, Deposition, confronts God in a language as shifting and ecstatic as divine encounter

This comes out of folklore.

Invented because tenderness at times

must be written in. There was a woman.

There was a cross. But in fact

they have hung him too high

to be touched. — from "A Woman Wipes the Face of Jesus"
