Penguin Book of Religious Verse

This jazzy looking Penguin paperback is a 1963 edition of The Penguin Book of Religious Verse! It is introduced and edited by R.S. Thomas. This anthology is divided into five sections. Roughly defining religion as embracing an experience of ultimate reality, and poetry as the imaginative presentation of such. Five aspects included are the consciousness of God, of the self, of negation, of the impersonal, or unnameable, and of completion. The first section takes us to the heart of traditional religious experience, the confrontation with God and God as personal.
