Lisa Russ Spaar's seventh full-length collection of poems, Soul Cake, which takes its title from an ancient mummer/wassailer's carol, leans with late-life, hibernal ecstasy into Spaar's flood subjects: God hunger, soul-making, language, beauty, and an unquenched desire for the b/Beloved. Bodily and mysterious, the poems wrest from their rich, sumptuous, surprising lexicon flashes of dread, beyonding, and gnosis.
