In this new collection of poems, Allen explores the borders between the human and the divine, the intersections where a redeemed but finite humanity experiences the astonishing reality of the infinite God. With precise, melodic language, careful attention to form, and (often) a refreshing sense of humor, Allen refines our spiritual sensibilities, enlarging our capacity to perceive and inhabit both our own world and the wondrous region of God's presence.

Fred Allen, vaudevillian and radio star of the 1930s and 40s was a unique talent whose humor pleased a vast audience-- from housewives and traveling salesmen to university professors who compared his satire to that of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain--one of America's most admired comedians, one of radio's most frequently censored, and a master ad-libber whose style and substance influenced fellow comics. Allen was a dedicated correspondent, typing his letters out with two fingers on his portable typewriter, and the recipients were so delighted that a great many were carefully saved. When his widow, Portland Hoffa, appealed for contributions, thousands appeared from attics and cellars nation wide. Allen's letters are presented with as few explanatory footnotes and editor's comments as possible.
