Overview“What interests me in poetry is the interplay of language, the page, and silence. Heaven falls out of words because possibility is in the page, another kind of heaven; I wonder if that’s the only heaven we are given to know in life.” -- Edward Dickinson (Ted) Blodgett E.D. Blodgett’s final volume of poems, Walking Into God, is the culmination of the poet’s lifelong devotion to a poetry and poetics of the sacred. His mastery of craft, including cadence and sustained musicality, is unsurpassed in Canadian literature. Though this volume is divided into two parts (or sequences), these compressed poems present as a single long poem that explores the processes of walking, moving, changing, and evolving within a unified field.
