Overview

Over the past 3 years, poet Todd Swift has charted a fresh course in confessional poetry, in a series of pamphlets that fuse images from social media, theology, pop culture, politics and science. Taking its title from a line from a sermon from Lancelot Andrewes (once based at Pembroke, Cambridge) - 'we are all weak and crazy when we would repent, but lusty and strong when to commit sin' - here is the fitting end to a trilogy unmatched for bold self-analysis, yearning for salvation, and poetic exuberance.
