Reviews
"""Jennifer Reek’s book is a beautifully written account of a life-changing journey she has undertaken […] Reek interweaves with impressive erudition many different writings and careful autobiographical reflection."" – Kathryn Wills, University of Glasgow, Literature & Theology ""How is the “poetic ... political” (171)? This question conveys the dynamic life and the theme that connects the 10 essays in Jennifer Reek’s A Poetics of Church: Reading and Writing Sacred Spaces of Poetic Dwelling. At times elusive, always allusive with countless conversation partners, Reek invites us on a journey with poet-thinker “companions,” including Ignatius of Loyola, Gaston Bachelard, Yves Bonnefoy, Hèléne Cixous, Dennis Potter, and Karl Rahner. - Larry D. Bouchard, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Virginia, Reading Religion"
