That it happens to be religious is beside the point? Isn't that like saying of Adorno, "that it happens to be political.." - in reading such poetry "for the poetry", deliberately irrespective of its principal connectedness, what is read exactly? Though of course I agree, the dear sirs are eminently to be skipped over. Still I maintain, the publishing houses are thumb-in-pie: it's hardly as wallet-catching, seeing in your mandatory back-cover bio that your provinvial intellectual is a Christian, than it is to see, say, probation officer exthug or whatever.. this of course reflects broader shifts, but is itself part of them and more properly over- than underestimated I reckon %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
