SIS WBK,, but i’m not going to pretend like i didn’t skim through the little aphorisms on the end because of how fleeting they are. nevertheless, doveglion’s work is stunningly intimate, sensual, and brilliant at humanizing divinity. how he fraternizes with god is honestly so daring and it makes sense. definitely an underrated poet—underrated for being a poc in an american literary scene dominated by white men in his time, and because he was not as political as other literary giants in filo history.
