Nicelle Davis is a poet with an eye towards the spiritual. Loosely based on Davis’s upbringing in the back-room of a record store in Mormonville, Utah, this unexpected fusion becomes a \\u201cspontaneous combustion\\u201d of matter turning into energy. In these poems we encounter Jesus, Judas, YouTube, Joseph Smith, Hollywood, the Knights of Templar, Missouri, Utah, a prostitute, turnips, libraries, and God. Spirituality and faith eventually become, like Mallarm\\u00e9’s \\u201cDice Thrown,\\u201d a game of chance: \\u201cI know only chance. My feet will \/ won’t hit ground.\\u201d Instead of choosing a faith based in the material world, which becomes a roll of the dice, Davis embraces the non-material of a pure energy: Let there be light.","brand":"Red Hen Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742631330135,"sku":"9781597092395","price":13.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781597092395.jpg?v=1758385752","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/becoming-judas-9781597092395","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
