Zero at the Bone: Fifty Entries Against Despair

Christian Wiman's Zero at the Bone is a groundbreaking work that defies genre classification, blending poetry, memoir, criticism, and theology in an indivisible whole.

Through fifty brief pieces, Wiman explores the seductive appeal of despair and unravels its mysteries with urgency and eloquence.

The book is studded with the poetry and prose of writers who inhabit Wiman's thoughts, including Wallace Stevens, Lucille Clifton, Emily Dickinson, and others.

At its heart, however, are Wiman's family - his young children, his wife, and those he grew up with in West Texas.

With an honest, profound, and contemporary sensibility, Wiman takes up the mantle of our greatest mystics and offers a revelation that will resonate with readers of all backgrounds and beliefs.

Don't miss out on this career-defining work by one of the most important writers of our time.
