Synopsis

Cultural Writing. Prose. These vivid meditations call us to enter the whirl of our desires. With wit and passion, Jeff Gundy investigates our deep roots of longing -- for God and the other. He offers an unforgettable ride -- Jean Janzen. The power of Jeff Gundy's RHAPSODY WITH DARK MATTER stems from a distinctive tension, where irony of the old sort -- with its attending terrors of Fate confronted -- is met with the wink (and the strength) of latter-day knowledge. Here are love poems, tracts on faith and doubt, paeans to the family memory, and yes, essays on Gospel Hour Radio, where the likes of Albert Einstein and John Wooden may coexist on the same sturdy line. This Midwetern rhapsody, Jeff Gundy, possesses and ancient lyric touch but also, delightfully, a sharp postmodern edge -- David Baker.
