The Unbelieving Yelp of Prey confronts religious devotion as something you grasp and something that seizes you. Rooted in the landscape of West Michigan, these poems seek traces of the divine with keen attention to the natural world, science, and personal history. Yet amid ordinary lives and crises of faith, revelation descends unexpectedly, talons extended in frightful welcome. This book offers readers the taste of belief, its texture, and the way its convicted sight both distorts and illuminates. By turns meditative, ecstatic, and snarky, Alex Mouw's poems capture the sermons and lamentations, the preachers and seekers, the politics and piety of midwestern evangelical Christianity.
