Ilya Kaminsky was born in Odessa, former Soviet Union in 1977. His debut collection was DANCING IN ODESSA (Tupelo Press, 2004). Among his awards are the Whiting Prize, the Metcalf Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the 2005 Foreword Poetry Book of the Year award.
We know from Alfred Corn's anthology, Incarnation, that poetic vocation and faith can mix successfully, as this collection of essays and poems further demonstrates. Contributors include Julius Lester, Eleanor Wilner, Li-Young Lee, and Carolyn Forche; contributions and poems alike are notable for their accessibility. VERDICT This anthology will be a pleasure for literature mavens and Christian readers alike. (c) Copyright 2013. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
